Didn't notice this thread, I like the idea.
I'm just basing all my thoughts on the image you provided on your original post.
Add a 1-gem button to instantly finish the timer then the requestor will immediately receive it. Every one who has gold pass (and of course willing to donate via 1-gem) can finish the cooking time as long as he has the requested troop.
To OP, Can you edit your posted image and shove a gem in the center of the balloons and the Stone Slammer?
So my thoughts about this idea are..
- Donation barracks not needed
- 1-gem not defeated
-
Your army is saved
- This would also add a morale to the members, no need to type "please wait im cooking" just to imply that their request is being cooked, the timer itself indicates that it is being fulfilled.
uhm... maybe I'm missing some negative things..?
