Clan castle idea for troops

It's annoying to watch your clan castle troops get lured out by a single archer only to stand there while poisoned to death. The poison spell broke the cc troops for wars in particular where only a Dragon does anything worth while.

I think a way to fix the lure issue would be similar to how the heroes work. Once there are no troops in the given range of the cc, the cc troops will retreat back to the castle and only redeploy when enemies enter the range.

I also think that we should be able to select whether or not the cc troops deploy at all. Sometimes I like to save them for an attack instead of risking them on a defense.

Final clan castle suggestion. I think it would be cool if we could select an effective range of the castle itself. Toggle between standard or close range so they protect less but will be concentrated more.

I agree that the poison spell broke war castles but making them retreat back afterwards would be terrible for the game.

As far as range goes I think its fine the way it is.

I think it is fine as it is. Having the CC troops like that would make raiding much more difficult, and keep in mind luring still requires an army commitment so it does have risk.

I am sorry, but army commitment of 1 hog is not a risk, and that is mostly what people use to lure the cc these days with one dragon, and then filler.

The only way to prevent it is to have your defenses spread on the ring of the trigger and hope to god you have it right. Sure you can say oh well maybe use a different cc troops and not a dragon so it takes more hogs. But anything else besides a dragon just gets wrecked by the poison anyways. And come to think of it now with the CC dark spell donation I see people taking 2 poison which completely kills any CC dragon.

As for the OP
I love the idea of choosing for your cc not to be deployed for defense. To many times I get a golem in my cc for war, log off for a bit and come back to do my war attack just to see I have been attacked and it was taken out.

I am not so sure about the callback ability as it could get weird if you had witches in the CC, do the skeles go back too? Might be weird, I do however think a toggle range would be a good idea.

War CC's are very important and if the lure is to easy it is almost a why bother.
As you move up in townhall levels its obvious you get more and more defenses and buildings. With this, it means that the range range for the CC trigger at th7 compared to th11 is way unbalanced. From a th7-8 point of view you have to build a very spread base to prevent easy CC lures. This means it can limit the style of bases you design.
Once you get to th9 it is still hard to sometimes create a base without an easy lure, th10 and 11 is where there are just so many defenses that it becomes a lot harder to do a lure with a the number of defenses, buildings and walls.

I almost wonder, going off of the OP's idea of toggle CC trigger range, what if the trigger range increased each time a clan CC is leveled up. This means at the early th levels it will make wars more competitive where they may need to consider, do I try the lure or go guns blazing on the attack and hope for the best. Right now its, drop 2-3 barbs in range of the cc ring, ok now drop 1 archer off to the side, ok cool, drop some more barbs and some wiz or archers. Its not that hard to do and its kinda boring.

TL: DR
- Clan Castle Trigger ranges Proportional to the Town Hall Level or Clan Castle Level to make it a little more difficult to do cc lures.
