Ability to turn off clan castle

We need the ability to shut off the clan castle in order to protect the troops while the village is being attacked. We war continually and sometimes players will have a golem in the castle to be used for a war attack and their shield will expire and they lose their troops when they are attacked. It is very frustrating when you only have a short window of time to be able to do a war attack and the troops you had in your castle earlier are gone, this is even more pronounced in international clans because of different work schedules. Simply putting the castle to sleep like you can with your heros would ensure your valuable war troops are safe and ready for you when you need them. It carries a risk doing this because the clan castle can be one of the best defenses in the game, but that is a choice the player has to make.

I don't care that this idea is idea is ruled out. I agree it should be an option, its silly that it isn't.

Why not in addition to that, make it so you can say only specific troops defend?

I do not see why they can't implement this. I too sometimes bite my tongue thinking I have a lvl 3 dragon in my castle waiting for the war and yet have to request again because it has been used to defend my base.

They can make the same programming language as the king. Awake or asleep. They do not have to change a thing. People will continue to wonder if the castle is full of troops or not.

Maybe they thought they would have to change how the castle looks when you put troops asleep which would reveal that there are troops in the castles. Which would make people attack your base less. But they could just keep it the same and perhaps include a button similar to king.

Perhaps they also wanted you to buy a shield. But really, who buys a shield these days.

As I said before if it has been ruled out does not mean in any way that we can revisit it in the future. Rules out over a year ago is old hat. The game has evolved and they would need to start revisiting old feature requests.
