This post is a bit long so please bear with me as you read it!
There are lots of family clans in Clash of Clans where the clans are family to each other and NOT feeders.
(This idea can be applied to feeder clans also).
So now, let's get into Clan Linking.
Sometimes you need to quickly jump from your clan to one of your family clans to be able to participate in their war or donate to them or to just check their statistics etc.
In such cases it would be helpful to be able to "link" family clans together.
This means that the when both Leaders of a clan (Leader Only Privilege) agree to clan linking, they will click on the clan info button (the small blue "i") of the clan they wish to link to and click on a new " link " option.
Members of linked clans get certain privileges but let's get into that later.
Once BOTH Leaders have linked their clans, a new tab will appear in between the " My Clan " and "Search Clans" tabs. This tab will be called "Linked Clans" and will have the list of clans you have linked to.
There can be a MAXIMUM of 5 linked clans.
-What can linked clans do?
1. Members of linked clans can spectate each others wars.
2. Members of linked clans can visit linked clans by sending an invite to the clan.
They will not have to leave their own clan to be able to send an invite (This is a must or else people will keep hopping between family clans). Once they are accepted in the linked clan, they will NOT lose their donations...!
3. When you are visiting a linked clan, your own clan's chat window remains visible to you and you may chat. But, you will not be able to donate to your own clan when you are visiting (the donate buttons in your own chat window are greyed out).
4. If you encounter a member of a clan you are linked to while attacking, you will be allowed to attack him /her and receive your loot as normal. In return, the player you attacked may revenge you.
5. Leaders of linked clans may send messages to all of their linked clans with a cool down of 24 hours. (Leader Only Privilege).
6. See the list of linked clans of fellow linked clans.
What linked clans CANNOT do.
1. See each other's chat tabs (unless visiting a linked clan).
2. (More things will be added based on suggestions).
What this feature does is:
1. Give clans full scope to expand and create Superclans without actually increasing clan size.
2. Quick visiting and relaying messages becomes possible.
3. Donations are not lost while visiting a linked clan. You wanted that didn't you?
4. BUT donations made while visiting a linked clan will NOT be added to your total donations for the season. You will get the xp though and also the "Friend In Need".
Things that players who are looking at clans cannot see :
If I am a random player who is looking at the clan info of any clan, I will...
1. Not be able to see the clans they are linked to.
Other info :
1. If one is kicked while visiting a linked clan, they will be sent back to their own clan (chat window of linked clan disappears) and they will have to wait 24 hours before requesting to join back into the clan they were kicked from.
2. Members and elders are allowed to visit linked clans for a limited period of 24 hours after which they will be automatically disconnected from the linked clan and sent back to their own clan. Coleaders and Leaders do not have any such restrictions.
Let me know what you think and also if any part of this long post is confusing. I'll be happy to make positive changes to this post.
Thanks :-)
If this feature is made available, many other ideas become applicable (such as my "Loyalty Gems" idea).
