Clash of Clans? Here's an idea that emphasizes the role of your clan!
UPDATE 3
The Problem
Clans aren't really a BIG part of the gameplay experience when playing Clash of Clans. Clan members are a very minor role and usually are only contacted when a player needs troop donations.
This needs to change.
This game is huge, very popular, it can integrate something awesome that will have you and your clan members communicating, not just for troop donations, but for battles. Here is an idea that will truly enhance multiplayer gameplay.
The Solution
I know this idea has been brought up from time to time, however, it is an idea that shouldn't be overlooked...again. The idea is as simple as you want to make it but it will be categorized in the longterm-development list.
A Clan Capital
Now, this might sound far fetched but read it over, it might spark more ideas, better ones that can be used to further enhance online multiplayer simulation between players and between clan members.
My vision for a Clan Capital is simple: Create a common interest and a common goal between clan members. Currently, there isn't really an aspect of the game that really motivates the entire clan for one common reason. So, I believe a clan Capital will be this aspect. It is a simple idea, however, implementing it may be time consuming, an investment well worth considering.
The Idea
The Clan Capital is a main village for your entire clan.
Technicalities
Clan Capital will be 4 times the size of a normal player's village (I will explain the reason later). Clan capitals will start fresh, with no buildings but a Town Hall (placeholder name).
Clan Member Responsibilities
Clan members are considered the primary benefactors to their Clan Capital. It is brought upon each clan member to donate as much resource (Gold, Elixer, and Dark Elixer) as they want to in order to improve their Clan Capital. Having this positive alternative motive will guarantee an increase in member communication, involvement, motivation, and morale. Another responsibility that all clan members have is donating troops to the Clan Capital. Clan Castles inside of the Capital will be able to hold 4x as many donated troops as a normal player's village.
Capital Administration
Who will be able to control the Capital? Currently, the Clan Elders and Leader would be the only members who would have access to editing the Capital structures, upgrading defenses, etc. However, regular clan members will be able to see their Capital, donate troops, donate resources, and attack other capitals.
Attacking Other Clan Capitals
The reason that the Clan Capitals and Clan Castle Capacity is 4x larger is because attacking these capitals will be done with 4 players. Yes, four clan members and their armies will fuse into one battlefield to fight against the defenses of another Clan Capital in real time.
Setting Up Capital Attacks
The Clan Leaders and Elders will be able to attack other Capitals at will, however, normal clan members must be invited by a higher rank to join the fight. Members who have been invited to attack in a Capital Attack should have their troops and spells prepared before accepting the invitation.
Benefits of Clan Capital for All Clan Members
-Clan members will always receive a cut in the winnings after every Clan Capital attack that is performed by their clan.(Winnings will be equally distributed among all clan members).
Clan Capitals are the hub of resources for the entire clan and donating resources is a big aspect of that. Imagine 50 members donating 20k resources each, the resource storages are always going to be bulging! This means, more resources will be present in Clan Capital attacks than normal village attacks (A LOT MORE RESOURCES).
For example, let's say that Clan A plunders 500,000 Elixer and 750,000 Gold from a clan capital attack(an average amount for beginning Clan Capitals), Clan A has a full 50 members. After the attack, each member will receive 10,000 Elixer and 15,000 Gold to his personal resource storages in his village. The most experienced or highest ranked capitals should be able to hold up to 1 billion resource. This is when the winnings get abundant, and why it is very smart to invest in your Clan Capital.
Investing In The Clan Capital
It is very wise to invest in your Clan Capital. Why? Clan Capitals have the potential to be revenue builders for each individual member of the clan. With a strong capital, and a knack for winning, your clan capital can eventually create enough profit to make a substantial difference in the player's own personal village. Implementing the Clan Capital will really promote clan participation and communication, further enhancing the Clash of Clans experience.
Geographic Additions (Optional to Clan Capital Idea)
With an exponentially larger area, Clan Capitals should have organic geographic design. Some ideas for this are:
-Implementing water-based regions within the Capital limits.
-Include water-based defenses
-Inlude water-based troops for attacking (Military ships, boats, mermaids, etc)
-Include water-based structures (possibly new source of resource mining [Oil drill from Water] will be used for upgrading and purchasing water-based structures)
Conclusion
In the end, it is what the developer wants to do. Something great can be done to enhance the Clash of Clans experience and it is our opportunity, as players, to create this experience. Hopefully, the development team can gather similar ideas if this one is not technically substantial. This idea will ultimately shed a new light on this game, making it more interactive and setting the bar for other games of it's genre. Thanks for reading everyone!
