Collective Castle

[aitgvet]

Hey guys,

I was making some dragons for war CCs, but by the time they were finished cooking, I saw that all the CCs were full. I had three left over, and I had to pester my clan mates to ask for a dragon all day. Nobody wanted a dragon. Then it hit me. What if there was a massive clan castle, where instead of dumping troops and wasting that 100,000+ elixir it cost to make those drags, why not put it in a place where people can take it when they want?

There would be a tab in the Clan Castle called "Collective Troops" or something, and when you pressed it, it took you to a screen that had all the troops put in by clan mates. When someone takes the troop out of the big CC and into their own, the person who put it in the big CC gets the donations. You can't take the troops you put in.

This feature would mean less wasting expensive troops by dumping, and if someone was up in the middle of the night, they wouldn't have to wait until morning to get a max golem if there was one stockpiled before.

Hoppers have been brought to my attention. As Callywally (below) suggested, there could be a day or two wait period before you could take troops from the castle. This wouldn't stop the problem entirely, but it would really discourage them. Also, to prevent trolls dropping goblins in there, there could be a time limit until the troops disappear. Although this could waste troops and elixir, if you're clanmates don't want good troops like max golems and drags, then that's their loss. I'm thinking the wait time would be three days to a week. Or, the leader could delete troops, but that could create troll leaders...

So, what do you think? If you can think of any other potential exploits, point them out to me!

Great suggestion! This should be added.

Thanks! Maybe someday it'll be in the game

So, what do you think? I haven't thought of a way this could be exploited, but maybe you can.

Finally! A good idea! This should definitely be considered. There's just ONE problem. Hoppers could exploit this. (Join clan, pick n choose what they want, then leave)

I think they should have a 1-2 day wait period before new members can collect from the collective clan castle. This would discourage hoppers from this (hoppers don't like waiting)

Also, the leader would be able to take out troops. (just in case a troll comes along and donates gobs). However, this would require you put in another feature that makes it so the person who donates only gets the exp/donation tally AFTER someone takes his troops. This way it can't be abused (I.E. people spamming to get exp)

You can edit your post and add in these features which should take out any cons to this idea

True, true, I hadn't thought of hoppers, even though my clan just fell to one who wanted a max hound! I appreciate the kind words and will edit my post. And maybe to prevent trolls dropping gobs, troops only stay for two or three days then disappear. This would keep the problem the same, but if no one wants a max golem or drag in three days, that's really weird.

I like this idea, it should be implemented.

Thanks! Glad to see there's a lot of support

I'm sure theres a reason they haven't done it by now

Well firstly, the idea has been suggested a lot. Good idea, but not new.

There are some faults:

→ Whole new purpose of hopping
→ New way to dump excess loot

There are also positives

→ Easier way for req n go clans to work
→ Dumping extra troops
→ Troops on demand - eg there could be lots of dragons during war and you could just take one for war

So it's 50/50 really

As I suggested he edit the post, perhaps a 'new' member couldn't get access to the collective CC.

Also, I don't think you would be able to retrieve the troops once donated. The leader could only dismiss troops but that's all.
