New Defense: Howitzer

Hi. I play this game for a while and suddenly something came to my mind. How about a Howitzer?

The Howitzer, much like the like the Inferno Tower and the X-Bow, could be adjusted to two positions. In the first position, it would act like a Mortar, firing upwards and letting the projectiles rain down. In the second position, it would act like a Cannon, but with splash damage.

I was thinking it could be some sort of "Ultimate Defense" for lower leveled players, like the Inferno Tower and X-Bow are for higher leveled players, but without needing to be reloaded, like the Cannon and the Mortar. Maybe it could have less damage/range/fire ratio/limited numbers to compensate for its ability to act as two defenses.

It probably won't be approved, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Edit: Forget about it being adjustable. Make it a Cannon with splash damage.

Firstly, it would be available at TH4, for 10K. You could upgrade it five times, starting at TH5. 50K to first upgrade, 200K to second, 500K to third, 1M to fourth, 3M to fifth and 6M to sixth, totalizing 10.760.000 Gold for one fully upgraded Howitzer. (Prices based on the Cannon, could change if someone think it is too cheap/costly).

You could buy an additional Howitzer at TH6, 7 and 8, totaling 4 Howitzers. It would occupy 3x3 tiles, same as the Cannon and the Mortar. The Range could probably be between 8 and 10 tiles with 2 or 3 tiles of blind spot if needed to balance it out. I'd rather go with no blind spot. The firing rate would probably be 1 shot per sec, as the Cannon shots every 0.8 secs. 1 tile of splash damage seems good enough, seeing as the Mortar is 1.5.

If any additional information is required, I'll be glad to add it upon request. Feel free to contribute with your own suggestions regarding price, damage, range, hit points and etc.

I don't want more defenses with options.

Okay, make it a Cannon with splash damage. It could fire slightly slower than a Cannon and/or have a blind spot like the Mortar to make up for the splash damage. The splash area could be small, as not to make it overpowered.

This is just a random idea I had. I wanted to know if people would like the concept before I started developing it. Okay, here it goes...

1 - I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "Cost". I thought it was the price to buy, but it is covered in your third question. Maybe you meant the price to buy and fully upgrade it? It would be 10.760.00 Gold, then.

2 - 4. First one in TH4, second one in TH6, third one in TH7 and last one in TH8. (Based on the Mortar.)

3- 10K to buy one. 50K to first upgrade, 200K to second, 500K to third, 1M to fourth, 3M to fifth and 6M to sixth. One upgrade per TH starting at TH5. (Prices based on the Cannon, could change if someone think it is too cheap/costly).

4 - 3x3, same as the Cannon and the Mortar. If you meant range, then it would probably be 8 to 10 tiles with 2 or 3 tiles of blind spot if needed to balance it out. I'd rather go with no blind spot. The firing rate would probably be 1 shot per sec, as the Cannon shots every 0.8 secs.

This is the Cannon-with-splash-damage version, as the adjustable version wasn't quite welcomed.

All that information is what is needed in your idea thread. All that was missing.

Fixed. I think...
