I would love to keep the troops that survive in battle instead of them disappearing and getting nothing out of them. For example in Boom Beach if you do a all Heavy raid and all of your heavy's survive you get to keep them. In clash if you do a 10 drag raid for example and 5 of your drags are still alive when your done defeating the base they disappear. I think it would be great to keep troops that stayed alive during battle.
Yeah this would be very OP, a lot of rebalancing would be required.
Unfortunately, I doubt remaining alive troops will ever return to the village. That is because people would just use strong armies in lower leagues, where almost no troops would die. This would result in a continuous farming with no resources spent on creating new troops.
Also, one of the worst scenarios when this would be too OP is the Queen+healer strategy, which would greatly benefit from this attack strategy.. and in fact not only this one, but the lower level players could also highly benefit from the Giant+Healer.
On top of what devil said, this idea is in Boom Beach, where the game is created for it. Clash is different.
I always start building my next army before going in to battle. Deleting redundant troops upon return might be impossible depending on which troops survived and what order my new army is being built.
