Idea for dragon target options

After a discussion with clan mates and constant frustration with dragons acting "dumb" I thought maybe once dragons are at a particular level ( similar to barbarian king ability) or even from beginning, users could have an option of maintaining dragon stats as current or opting for a defence target preference at a large cut, say 30-50%, to attack power.

Other options we discussed were a possible speed reduction or limitation on the amount of defence target dragons allowed to be trained at any one time (say 3 or 4) .... this may have already been covered in the past but we believe this option wouldn't impact the importance of other troops in the fight and would allow for better coordination strategy during attacks.

Let me know what you think forum members and admins

Thanks for your time

No, the main aspect of the game is attacking. To attack, one must strategically choose which troops they want to deploy, based on their stats and targeting. To be able to change the stats would ruin the decision making of which troops to deploy, and basically also ruin the entire strategy of preparing a well planned attack. If this feature was implemented, there'd be really no need for any other troop but dragons, since they would be able to target defenses and any building at the same time. And why dragons?

Thanks for your opinion however I don't think you read my suggestion properly.. obviously if you could select all ur dragons on defence it would be dragon warfare. . I don't want that.. but surely you can agree a limitation on the amount of target orientated dragons would prevent this.. even if it's only capped at 1 or 2 it's not going to impact other troop strategy too bad.. plus with the damage decrease most air defence could handle them easily... have a think about that

You say ruin ... explain exactly how it would ruin strategy? The attacker still is sacrificing 20 unit spaces and that dragon isn't going to make it any where near TH on a well defended base. .. I see it as an option ... especially useful for farmers who want to clear cannons and such for goblin runs .. hog riders are a ground option and with healers or health pots I can't see why you think this would ruin strategy. .if anything its giving the game more strategy

However I do appreciate your feedback thanks mate

Dragons are quite predictable for the most part. They are drawn to defenders and that makes them appear dumb but it can also be used to an attacker’s advantage.

If you want flying troops that target defenses and are faster to train, they are called balloons. Try them.

A constant battle I face with my th7 and lower th8, is convicing them that mixed armies still have a place in aerial attacks.

Do you know why Clash Of Clans is called a strategic game?
Because you have to strategically build your base and strategically ATTACK WITH YOUR TROOPS. And for the "defensive dragons" we have something called balloons. Speed cannot reduce more for dragons cause already their speed is so allow.

But anyway a dragon is technically a troop.. loons are of great value too .. one of the things I'm trying to convey is that instead of plebs dumping 10 dragons burning their elixer and often failing at the game. . Having a single defensive dragon as I will quote myself yet again at a large attack power reduction would promote use of other useful troops.

If noone at all can see any benefits from my suggestion then so be it.. merely a suggestion that would help lower level players until they have dark elixer and high enough level defence troops to handle the real business.. personally I wouldn't be using my suggested idea after th8 as the variety of troops avaliable at those levels can be far more effective. .

In the mean time back to hogs goblins and healers lol
