Create a MINER TROOP similar to Builder who Gem farms during single player battle

[DrDeath]

Create a miner troop that can only be deployed in ones or twos during single player battles that mines gems by destroying bushes, trees, shrubs, etc on an opponents village set. This troop would have no battle function, only mine gems, and would be susceptible to defensive troops to be killed.

Make the expense for the miner similar to a healer, great expense, 14+ housing spaces, etc? and upgradeable in a similar fashion.

might be considered as gem stealing, and gem stealing isn't very fun for the defender i suppose

I could see how this could be considered different than gem stealing. If the troop costs a lot, someone won't drop it on a base with only a few obstacles, but would look for a base that has a lot of obstacles, which would suggest that the person has no plans on removing them.

However, I think this troop would only be useful for a short amount of time as people would quickly remove all obstacles in the game and then the troop would never be used again, or very rarely.

This is a bad idea. Everyone would just drop to 0 trophies to find new bases that havent cleared any obstacles yet and have the full 40 trees and bushes to get easy gems instead of buying them.

I absolutely agree.
This would be the first thing I would do.
(Imagine starting the game and having no access to those gems.)

If this came in, imagine how fast inactives would get emptied of trees!

[TheConfuzed1]

No. Absolutely, not.

Do not touch my trees (Christmas trees are irreplaceable), do not touch my bushes, and absolutely keep your hands off of my gems.

[ClarkTheShnark]

guys he is talking about in single player missions... So like goblins and stuff. I still disagree tho

[Julezwatts]

Bases in single player are SURROUNDED with rocks and trees that are out if the range of cannons. There are a bunch of goblin missions (let's say 50, I think) and if each goblin base has 50 trees (trees line the perimeter on goblin levels), Thats's upwards of 2,500 gems.
