Claim base to attack in Clan Wars

[Edgo]

I agree 100%. I have been asking for this for a while, but you have laid out very good guidelines. Active clans really need a feature like this. It's too easy to accidentally attack a base that somebody is planning to attack. Nothing more frustrating than building specifically for a base and have it taken out from under you because your comment about attacking scrolled of the chat and the clan member didn't know.

Exactly, this issue persists constantly in my clan.

This would help newer clans with newer people who don't get war as much. Love the idea, why don't you make a poll?

Good idea, I'll start working on one.

It promotes harmony within a clan and changes none of the game dynamics. Seems to be a no brained to me.

This feature would allow for better coordination of clan attacks
A variation could be leaders and co-leaders able to suggest players whom to attack in a sticky way, not just through clan chat

I did suggest Leaders/Co-Leaders can assign or deselect bases for participants to attack. In my mind, this would be the same action as if the member claimed the base(s) themselves. Just like how leaders now can opt members in or out of wars. Also , even if a leader selects a base for a participant this shouldn't take away that members right to deselect the base or lock them into attacking it.

This idea should be added for sure

Great idea, had my doubts when I read the title, but I'm very convinced after reading the thread!

If you want to attack a base get your troops ready an attack. Calling dibs isn't a good thing imo. If someone has an equivalent attack an they're ready why should they wait? I see this just slowing the war progress down. Get your hits in early an you have a bigger selection. Wait an you may need to hit a lesser base to gain the stars for your clan to win. Less loot but clan wars is about the team winning, not an individual's reward.
A leader being able to "recommend" targets would be far more helpful then the recommendations we currently get. Those recommendations are not based on any winning strategy for the clan an really do a disservice in the later stages of war. I wish they'd go away since they can be completely misleading.

Apparently you're a fan of the "first come, first serve" war strategy and that's fine if that's the way your clan chooses to operate. My proposed enhancement still allows you to do so and wouldn't effect your way of warring at all. My proposal will help a multitude of clans with members that have real life responsibilities or are spread across several world time zones and can't attack as soon as war starts.

My proposal allows leaders to claim or "recommend" bases for their war participants.

Because maybe one of them is a newly-upgraded TH7 and the other is maxed-out TH8. It should be obvious the TH8 can compete with much tougher opponents, so if he obliterates an enemy fitting for TH7 and the guy can't even 1-star someone the TH8 can still obliterate, it costs your clan up to 6 stars if TH7 has no weaker opponents to fight.
I'm surprised this feature wasn't added on day one.
