The Arena: attack the bases of your friends

One of the things that makes gaming incredibly fun is to be able to interact and play with your friends. What I feel is missing is that I can't attack the villages of my Facebook friends/clanmates. Adding this option to the game would increase competitiveness among players, make the game more fun in general, and enhance the gameplay of many. Just think of games like mario kart or super smash bros: playing against friends is what made these games so much more epic.

Idea of how to implement this:

Add an 'Arena' button. In this screen, you see a list of your Facebook friends and clanmates and you can challenge their war base. If they accept the challenge, then you both have 24h to attack each others war base. The one who wins most stars wins 150% of the costs of his attack. The loser gets 50%. So the 'award' is really insignificant, it's not possible to make money out of it, it's just about having fun with your friends and about a battle of prestige.

Sidenote: the players are not able to change their war base. the war base is the war base that they have used in their last war. This way, it's not possible to copy a base of someone you're currently in war with and practice on it.

Oh sure. Your friend puts a town hall outside the base.
1. You snipe it, deploying REALLY EXPENSIVE TROOPS.
2. You surrender. You gain elixir and dark elixir.
3. Repeat.
4. Allow your friend to do the same.

You can only do it once every 24h per friend, so you can't really repeat. Also, training really expensive troops will take hours. It would be way more profitable to use those hours to barch some normal bases for loot.

If this would really be a problem then the reward could also be 110%, or whatever.. it's not about the loot.

Too similar to what is already ruled out (donating resources)

Also, this could be way easily abusable; your friend creates a popular base design, and you keep practicing on it till your attacks vs it are flawless.

Bad idea.

How about you just add a practice attack option where you can attack your friend's base. Your attack is refunded based on the % of damage you deal. You can then post the replay to your clan, so you can show your clan mates weak spots in their bases and such.

I sorta like this idea to use it as a teaching tool. But knowing already where their traps and hidden teslas would make it not as accurate.

If you can only fight against a friend once every 24h and you earn practically nothing with it, then it's not donating resources...

Also I don't see a problem with the popular base design argument you mention.. I actually think it's a positive thing. It means that people will be more motivated to create their own, unique, base instead of just copying some standard base from youtube.

And once again, if you can only practice once every 24h, and gain practically nothing with it, then it's really a waste of time to practice on the many popular bases out there, hoping you'll encounter them sometime..
