Lowering the time searching for an opponent by 6 times
I just came across a thread pointing out something that has always bothered me and many others I have met on the game. A lot of the time playing CoC is consumed by searching for villages you can attack. The higher you go in trophies and leagues the longer time you spend on looking for a village you can imagine yourself having a chance of defeating. This results in countless hours not actually playing the game but just tapping the "Next" button.
Here's a simple solution in order to decrease that time. To make it simple see the image bellow:
Attachment 143440
Basically what you do is you show a preview of 6 villages at a time. In my example above I have only included number of won/lost trophies when attacking each village but in this screen you can also add amount of available resources as well as other relevant information. From this screen the player can tap on a village and open up a live preview of the chosen village. In the new pop up preview the player has an "Attack" button in the bottom center position for starting the attack and a "X" button in the upper right corner for closing the live preview and going back to the list of available villages.
Pros with this change:
- Obviously less time searching for the right base to attack
- If trophy pushing you are shown 6 different trophy options available for winning rather than one at a time
- By adding the "Attack" button it will no longer be an issue of mistakenly attacking a player you were not intending to attack (which I can imagine has been suggested many times)
Cons:
- It will make it possible for players to advance faster in the game since they can find attackable bases faster
So please do discuss how this suggestion could work in practice, if you see other problems with a such change and maybe how to solve those.
