Hello,

I'd like to give a short background on my clan experience since starting this game. I've been playing since November 2012 and am now a lvl 124? maxed defense structure TH10. I've spent 85% of my gameplay in a small 10-14 person clan consisting of real life friends.

After the addition of clan wars, we had the opportunity to merge with a clan similar of similar size consisting of a group of friends like ourselves. Since the merge, the main bonus i've noticed is that my clan castle is now actually filled more often than not and i can get a larger variety of troops given that more clan mates = more offensive variety. Beforehand, i was lucky enough to have a half filled clan castle making the game much less engaging from an offensive perspective as we're all young working professionals who log on but a few times during the work week but often on the weekends.

This brought me to thinking about a proposed change to the clan castle. This game is centered around clans (thus the name) and using teamwork to win wars and provide your friend with your own troops to help them out. But what has bothered me slightly in the past, is that you can only donate 5 units regardless of the units' housing space.

I propose the following rework to the clan castle and donation system:

Each clan castle upgrade allows you to not only house more troops but donate equally the amount of troops per request that your clan castle can hold. So if you have a lvl 7 clan castle housing 35 troops, this means i can donate up to 35 troops to any individual request. Instead of just providing 5 minions for 10 space, i could now supply 17 minions for 34 space.

I believe this would help the game for these reasons below:

1. Smaller clans with less active members would benefit in that a smaller number of the members could bear more of the donation load.
2. This will stimulate the community to prioritize CC upgrades thus promoting teamwork and the importance of having a clan which the game is centered upon.

I
t is sometimes hard to keep up with your donations if you are using a barch strategy for instance. When barching the player is at a disadvantage because they can only contribute 5 housing troops per request. This change would allow someone who fancies a barch attack to maintain a donation count and assist his clan mates in their endeavors.


Now one could argue, why should someone giving tier 1 troops be able to donate as much as someone who's putting more resources into say a pekka or dragon to give their clan mates that extra boost?

Personally, i don't think clanmates really care about anything other than:
1. Getting the troops they request for i.e. farming, defensive, war troops.
2. That their clan members maintain a healthy participative donation count.


TL;DR - link CC housing space to donation capability to stimulate donation for all offensive strategies and to enable smaller clans or clans with less active players to contribute and fill requests at any time.
