MiniWars - A new way to clan war!

Ever been tired of your clan waiting for hours or days to start war? Well here's the solution; introduuuucing....
MiniWars

So firstly, what is a MiniWar?
It is (obviously) something like a clan war, but only 5v5! The warriors have 2 minutes to get to know their other 4 members, 2 minutes of prep time, and 4.5 minutes of war time. Each warrior can do only 1 attack.

How are the bases matched?
The bases will be matched on their defensive weight, each to its own.
Eg. 3 TH7s of 44k, 42k,41k and 2 TH6s of 32k, 33.5k
They will be equally matched with 3 TH7s of 44k,42k,41k and 2 TH6s of 32k, 33.5k.
If there is no one available at the exact weight, the war weight search will expand by 1k, up or down.

What are the advantages?
Well, firstly, 'bunnying' will be reduced. With 2 mins of prep time and 4.5 mins of war time, hardly 1 'bunny' can be sneaked in, and that time will be itself spent on studying your equal's base. Also, since there is only one attack, loads of confidence will be needed, which will inevitably help develop confidence..

Also, for every 5 MiniWars, a normal clan war needs to be done.

The below are additions, numbered for easy reading.

1)Obviously, your target is not locked to your equal. You can attack anyone in the list.

2)Also, the war stars gained from these MiniWars will not count towards your War Hero achievement. This is more of a recreation while waiting for your clan to start a normal clan war search.

3)Also, I'm going to put in 2 modes - clan MiniWar and randoms MiniWar. The clan MiniWar would consist of clan members only, and randoms MiniWar will consist of anyone from a whole pool of players. We could do it like rooms - eg. Room TH9+, with advanced search features.

4)Well I have been thinking about troops training time. I'm thinking you could insta-train your troops during prep time, and the cost will be cut off from your loot anyways.

5)MiniWars will be unlocked at clan perk Level 3!

6)By insta-train...I mean there is no troop training time at all!








I'll edit in more stuff later, please feel free to voice your opinion on this topic.

I'm a fan of the 5v5 concept. I think the majority of players agree from what I have read on similar threads. Not sure I agree with the uber short time frames. If you know everyone in your clan maybe but remember most clans have people from around the country/world that don't have each others phone #s to coordinate such a short time frame. I do like what you said about having limits of skirmishes per large war. I haven't heard that before and that may appeal to some people currently against the idea. I personally wouldn't mind doing skirmishes more often than regular wars. Whatever the exact details are is really up to the COC programing gods. I would be cool with any version of 5v5 in the end.

The whole thing about hitting equals isn't relevant to a lot of clans. If 5v5 was all maxed th9s then the whole notion of attacking equals is actually a bad idea. You would want whoever is the best GoVaLo player to hit the best base for that attack, and the best GoLaLoon player to hit the best base for that attack. The arbitrary notion of hitting straight across is not always the best.

How would you train and donate all your troops in that short amount of time?

The idea sounds interesting tho. As someone mentioned, often times many clan mates are in other countries or not able to be contacted quickly. To help with this, you could have the option for anyone in the clan (maybe elder or above) to start a "skirmish". Then, the first 4 clan mates that press the "join skirmish" button will be included. However, the other 4 members will need to join within 5 minutes of you starting the skirmish or it will expire and you would need to start a new one. This would ensure that the 5 players are all online and active at the same time and ready to fight quickly.

It it still has the problem of how do you train your armies and brew spells with only a few minutes of time. You could say that they should have their armies built and ready before starting the skirmish, but that wouldn't allow many adjustments to the enemies bases during prep time (i.e., you had hogs trained, but the enemy has an anti hog bases).

it sounds like it would encourage more people to play together outside of wars, rather than just raiding separately and talking about it together in the chat. More teamplay features would help the clan stay strong and united.

No need of MINI Wars, as its decrease the amount of people in a fight its no more a war, its just a quarrel

Refer to the above replies for troops.
Also, I'm going to put in 2 modes - clan MiniWar and randoms MiniWar. The clan MiniWar would consist of clan members only, and randoms MiniWar will consist of anyone from a whole pool of players.
We could do it like rooms - eg. Room TH9+, with advanced search features.

Please elaborate.

There needs to be some minor time tweaks, and other minor ones too. But I think you have to get to clan perks level 3 before unlocking "MiniWars". Love the general idea, though.

I like clan wars a lot! The mode of PvP is awesome, inviting you to put your best effort against the enemy and inviting him to do the same against you!

So, anything in the same vein as clan wars is awesome! I particularly like random MiniWars. It'll help people socialize more. It'll be the RTS equivalent of DotA and LoL.

However, I am not sure about the crazy low times you have put forward. A good TH8 base can take more than 5 mins to plan. A good TH9 base can take A LOT more!

Correct, it's more like a super quick version of Clan War Tournaments.
The crazy low times are there for a reason....to protect against 'bunnies'.

It will protect against bunnies but the low times will also be a problem for fair play guys. Dunno if that's the way to go.

Good idea nonetheless. I'd like this feature even with lower times.

That's true, but at least it'll be able to combat a major problem in high level clan wars.

Right...it's meant to serve as a break between clan wars, so that's great.




Appreciating all the feedback guys:D:thumbsup:Keep it up:)

Are we allowed to bump?

First of all, you kind of already have, :facepalm: anywAys no, you can't

Hmm... I don't like this much. You must use gems to prepare the army until the war ends. That's stupid!

Sorry.

I didn't mean "insta-train" that way.:facepalm:

By insta-train I mean there is NO troop training time.

Nice idea.

Good idea but but I'm sure there will threads about unfair matchmaking about mini wars to after a while.
