New Defense: Golem Tower

[Ideaman]

This tower loves to take up all the damage! Golem Towers are large towers that attract troops towards them.

Appearance:

The Golem Tower is a huge mound of stone, of 4*4 size, like the Laboratory.

Function:

The Golem Tower takes up damage that troops do to it, buying time for other defenses to finish it off. It is also magnetic and causes troops to go towards it faster than normal.

Stats:

Unlocked at TH8.

	Hitpoints	Magnetic Radius	Upgrade Cost	Upgrade Time	Explosive Damage at Destruction (Radius 5 Tiles)	Appearance Change
Level 1 (TH8)	4000	5 Tiles	1,000,000 Gold and 10,000 DE	3 Days	100 Damage	Stone Mound
Level 2 (TH8)	5000	6 Tiles	2,500,000 Gold and 15,000 DE	5 Days	150 Damage	Spiky Stones
Level 3 (TH9)	6000	7 Tiles	4,000,000 Gold and 20,000 DE	8 Days	200 Damage	Glowing Mound
Level 4 (TH10)	7000	8 Tiles	6,000,000 Gold and 30,000 DE	10 Days	300 Damage	Purple Spikes

How it affects gameplay:

Defensive Strategy

The Golem Mound is larger than normal, therefore making improvisation of base design necessary. Troops will be attracted towards it, place traps near it to lure troops towards them. Place near Town Hall similarly to Skeleton Traps to distract troops.

Offensive Strategy

Place a Rage Spell when troops near the Golem Tower, to hasten its destruction. Use PEKKAs to destroy it, the explosive damage will not affect them much.

What do you think? Please post your comments on what I should add, remove, or tweak!

Defense is fine as it is. Also, I'm already having trouble with building bases to fit everything but this would worsen it.

Something to soak damage while defenses shoot? You mean, like a wall?
Basically a wall with a bomb strapped to it.
I don't support this being added, especially since storages/clan castle have enough hp to serve a similar purpose already.

I like the idea, but not the OP explosion. Also Gold and DE to upgrade? Better make it just Gold.

btw you can also put a Golem in your Clancastle

Walls that do nothing to stop the OP air attacks that can easily three star any TH7, TH8, or TH9 on TH level.... This would at least tank dragons or loons a little bit while your defenses hit them and could provide a way to better play defense. Defense is definitely not fine in this game until TH10.
