Idea for DB8.. The lightning drowe!!!!

[Castiel2140]

Both good questions. The troop's AI would be that it only Attacks boxes of walls with buildings inside. If the box of walls is broken by a wall breaker then it will just move onto the next one, the same if all the buildings inside are destroyed. If walls are arranged in lines then it will simply ignore them and attack buildings instead.

So this troop is really only somewhat effective against a layout of closed walls and would take a long while trying to attack a building within walls by itself.

Thats right. However it will work well as an anti LD base would have all of it's walls open meaning it would be easy to 3 star. A th10 has no choice but to use a base layout with closed walls so the troop will be useful. Also, if the troop attacked any quicker, it would be nearly unstoppable when used in hoards.

Now I don't like this troop due to what it primarily targets. I would find this troop useless, just simply have it target defenses or any. No need for nonsense A.I statistics, just makes the troop even more difficult to use.

The troop won't be difficult to use, you drop it, it gets its lightning, it's hits a box of walls, the buildings inside take damage. How is that difficult?

The troop doesn't deal damage to walls, it only deals damage to the buildings boxed inside walls.

Also so don't we have enough defence targeting troops?? Adding another will offer no new tactical advantage.. I like the troop as it is

Love the idea
love the animation (at least what I have in my head)
love the creativity and appreciate the uniqueness
dont think its attack should depended on the box though
Or maybe limit the boxed in area to max of 8x8?

That would be around the limit anyway.. A box any bigger would just have too many tiles to divide the damage into meaning it would deal very low damage to the buildings.

Any other ways that could be an alternative to the box??

Well have it be a solid limit so that its attacks aren't wasted. If the box is any bigger than 64 sq tiles it'll automatically section it off?

Should do or it will be like 0.000001 damage to each building..

Wait, is the damage taken by the building proportional to the size of the building?
So in your example each building would take 120 dmg per tile it takes up?

The total damage absorbed by the Lightning which is passed into the walls is divided by the tiles inside. Let's say the total damage absorbed is 3000. That passes into a box of walls which has 15 tiles of space inside. So the damage absorbed will be divided by that amount of tiles. The answer being 200. So 200 damage will be done to each building within that particular box of walls.

As I said before, you DON'T have to understand the math, you only have to understand the concept which is really simple. Drow absorbs lightning, Drow hits wall, electricity travels through box of walls, buildings inside are all damaged EQUALLY.
