It would be handy to be able to save armies in separate templates (up to 3 to 5 for regular battles and another 3 to 5 for clan wars). This would include regular troops and spells, and dark troops and spells. If you have certain favorite troop combinations that you like to use, you would be able to select a template and they would start training. They would be distributed evenly by troop and training time so that each barrick's total training time would similar given room available. Normal training and brewing rules would still apply. Overflow troops (more than what a barrack can hold) could either be added after room is available, but would require the player to manually complete the action when prompted to finish using the template. The cost of training would be listed with each template. And you should have the ability to slip in other troops and spells during training and brewing.
Bean counting has always been a big part of war for thousands of years.
