New "Trap": Slowsand!

[adisawesomedy]

You've all heard of quicksand, but how about slowsand? It is just what the name suggests. When a troop goes over a patch of slowsand (which is invisible until the troop encounters it) it moves 1/4 of its normal speed. This is a great way to hold off the enemy and let the weapons take them out. One "patch" of slowsand is 2x2, and once it slows down a number of troops worth 10 housing spaces (ex. 3 barbarians, 1 giant, and a wall breaker. Also, any troops over 10 housing spaces, such as PEKKA will not be effected by this) it disappears.

Also, if a spell is dropped on a slowsand, the spell's effects will be 1/4 of its usual effects. (A spell will be considered the equivalent of 10 housing spaces, so if one is dropped on the slowsand, it will disappear after the spell goes away and wont effect any troops during that time.)

And the best part is, although it wouldn't be practical to do this with ALL of your slowsand, it that it can be placed UNDERNEATH buildings and structures! The main point of this is that if someone tries zapping you while you have slowsand underneath, the effects will be less, thus decreasing the number of zappers!

When you reach town hall 6, you will be allowed to buy up to 3 patches of slowsand, 50,000 gold (could be changed) each. Two town halls later at town hall 8, you can buy two more. You can then get one more patch every town hall after 8, totaling at 7 patches altogether. Finally, slowsand will not be upgradable.

Tell me what you guys think, and make sure to post any changes that you have in mind!

So your idea is a less effective version of a wall?

No, this is something different. Although the goals are similar, the slowsand will be able to slow down spells, and more than that, it carries the element of surprise, unlike walls. And also, adding something like this will be WAY better for higher level clashers to handle than a new level wall (we've all seen those predictions people have made about what will happen when a level 12 wall comes in)

Great Idea, But beneath the building? Remove it.
