Reduce impact of modding

We all know modding is a serious problem in clan wars and modding clans will sacrifice an attack to scout a base for all trap locations.

To reduce the impact of this, SC can change the active war base each time a base is hit. There are already three war base layout slots in the game and the base can change between them each time so that it would require three scout attacks for modders to know all of the traps in all the layouts in order to brute force a perfect attack.

As it stands, one scout attack is viable since all attackers get two attacks. Requiring three scout attacks, however, would severely hamper modders by wasting the attacks of two participants in order to defeat a single opponent.

It also means that if you don't like the base you see, just have someone low drop a barb/arch to change it. It would mean maintaining 3 viable war bases to switch among. The bases aren't there to all be used at the same time, we'd need an extra 3 slots with your idea so that we can actually create different bases and work on things while those 3 are in our war rotation. We'd be right back at the same problem we had when we only had 1 base to store...you can't do any work on it without finishing because it's up for being attacked in war.

That's easy to solve by adding a checkbox to each layout which determines whether or not it is used in the rotation. Would similarly be simple for users to pick the rotation order on the base menu with a small UI change.

Wasting an attack in the hopes someone has a terrible base queued up behind a strong base sounds foolish. Currently, when modders don't like a base they see they DO drop a single barb to find all the traps and Teslas making the base significantly easier.

In my opinion, this would change clan wars too much for the 99%. The problem with modifying CWs to counter modders is that you can't do it easily without drastically changing the meta.

The current meta is mod to win and I'm all in favor of changing that.

Not necessarily. There are still many fairplay clans that do well.
