Mastermind's Saved Base Layouts Idea (with LOTS of pictures!)

[fatdormouse]

Might as well have this feature in full. After all, it shouldn't be too much trouble to code extra layouts.

If I had a penny for every time a user said to me "it shouldn't be too much trouble to code..."

...

I'd have 14 pennies.

The reason why I mention the war base is that Supercell have clearly already implemented a facility to hold a separate snapshot of the war base. Now, I have no idea what their code base looks like, so cannot say what would be simple and what wouldn't, I merely mention the war base as being the example that, in my opinion, would give the greatest benefit.

Switching between war base and normal base is the only regular, major restructuring I do, but I agree that it would be good to be able to try out different layouts and revert to previously saved layouts rather than having to redo everything from scratch every time.

Also, I would actually quite like to have a permanent war base so that I don't have to switch my layout at the last minute. Somebody else on this thread suggested being able to tag one of the saved layouts as the "war layout" which seemed like a good idea to me.

Hope this idea gets implemented soon!

Great idea, beautifully detailed as ever.

I would, of course, be very happy to have this feature in full. However, like many others I suspect, I would settle for just having a separate Clan Wars war base layout for the time being. This is the one that seems to cause the greatest effort for people.

Thanks for all your detailed suggestions on behalf of us clashers!

Yeah!! GO MASTER!!

Thanks guys True, if it was too dofficult to do my suggestions, then just a separate war base would suffice.

If possible for them, I say go for it too!

Basically it's up to SC and how they are able to program it. If they can do my suggestion, I say go for it! I have no doubt in their skills to make it happen either based on what we've already seen and how much money they have at their disposal. Can only hope!

I couldn't have explained it better myself ( I should just give my ideas to you so you can explain them A LOT BETTER). I would love to see this idea implemented

From the pictographs I enjoy the idea, but if this is to advocate for those of us who usually use a farming layout, and then having to readjust for war times.

I'd like to suggest that this feature be put to the war zone where you can edit and save your war base there. That way it totally bypasses the need to redo your layout of your normal village.

Allow any editing to be done on the war base so that we can just leave our real village alone, or take it a step further, and implement this idea, but then ALLOW us to pull those layouts and load them as our war base instead of having to fidget with our real village and then sit for a day.

Long story short:

use this idea, but allow war base editing in the war zone to allow normal village to be left alone. Preparation day, preparations are made in the war zone, not the real village.

Haven't been able to be on for a bit so just responding to the 3 threads where people recently left me messages and questions!

Thanks man, appreciate it

Interesting idea, and a few have suggested that in this thread actually I like it, but the reason that I made this idea is not just for War time but for using and trying out different layouts outside of war. You could have a farming layout, defensive, war base, anti-hog, fun layout, new one you want to try, etc. So many options.

AMAZING IDEA!! I can tell a lot of time and effort was put into this, and I really hope this is added!

[jackmeimaris]

great, didnt read the ENTIRE thing, but from what I read looks like a really smooth idea, you really want them to implement this dont you

I like the idea of being able to save partially completed villages. SC already have it so if you log off by accident it saves last village edit, but it doesnt work on the long haul.

What about deleting saved layouts? I understand you have covered it with replace existing layout, but perhaps deleting layouts would be useful too

all in all, another great post from you!! How long till SC pick you up and put you on the team?

Really hope they implement your rewards idea too, thats a great one

EDIT: did anyone spot this??? "Stay tuned for my new HUGE thread (this is small in comparison) that will be out a bit later! Hope this thread inspires Supercell and I'm really intrigued on what they think about this!"

9mg you were in the samemclan as my clan mate wayward husker

Love ittt ))

Thanks friends, glad you like it! Supposedly next update is when they are aiming to release this.

I really have to agree with this idea. Nicely done with effort. Keep it up!
