I read an idea by another forum member suggesting a protective umbrella type thing that could be deployed over one bldg or structure to shield it from lightning spells (I.e. dark elixir zapping).
I think its a pretty cool idea. But I wanted to add to the idea by starting this new thread. The original has been lost to time. I think the "umbrella" should be a feature baked into the hidden teslas.
Just like the inferno towers and xbows have options to toggle single/multi target and ground/air modes, the teslas could incorporate a new option. Offense or defense. Offensive mode would be the current function but the defensive mode would create a small protective "umbrella" that protects troops and bldgs within the radius from lightning spells.
So as not to be overpowered, the shield should deplete equal to the health of the Tesla. So if the Tesla is at 50% the shield should only block 50% of the DMG from the lightning. Destroying the Tesla disables the shield completely. Also if the Tesla is projecting a shield, it should be visible to attackers.
I like defensive structures with options! It adds a cool layer of strategy to your defensive setup. I think the xbows should have more options too. It should have a 5 tier slider that ranges from ground only to ground and air to air only. And the range penalties would apply similar to the way they function now.
Just food for thought. Let me know what you think! Clash on.
