New Troop: CANNONEER!

[PureEnergy66]

Hey, you sent me a private message to go to this idea since I've been frequently on the forums. Its true that I have been on day to day. To be honest, I don't like it. Its quite unusual and won't fit into the game but this is what I'm thinking. I want to actually see the troop instead of imagine it since I imagine stuff that looks completely different. But I could be wrong so hopefully it doesn't! Good luck though!

EDIT: Not trying to be rude or anything ok..

Sorry to hear you don't like it, any reason why it seems unusual to you? What characteristic is odd to you? Why do you think it won't fit in the game?

Unfortunately, all I am able to do is try and make people imagine what the troop looks like and what it will do. I am unable to make artwork by myself, and there isn't anyone willing to create a visual appearance for the Cannoneer.

Thanks for commenting.

I actually like the progression you made in refining the troop idea as constructive criticism came in.

Overall it looks like an interesting support troop. I don't think it pulls you out from Clash of Clans, as it would basically be a cannon like in your defense but with wheels on it. I'm sure that doesn't violate any continuity with the technology of the in game atmosphere.

It's being pushed by another troop, something or someone that resembles a builder. DPS and HP looks reasonable, keeping the housing space high keeps it balanced. Would be interesting to see how the damage reduction would work, that's the only thing that concerns me for balance.

Overall very thorough idea and well articulated!

We HAVE been getting a ton of complaints about it not fitting into Clash.... Maybe giving it a magic element, or maybe making it an Orc who pushes...? And thanks!

I don't like the idea of an orc, I like it the way it is. I think the reason why people think it doesn't fit in is because this is a technological troop. When people think of technology in the middle ages, they just don't think of cannons, even though they've been around years before the middle ages. I don't want to give this troop a magical aspect because it wouldn't be very realistic anymore, and I want the Cannoneer to make more sense.

Glad you like the troop.

About DDP, I thought it would make it easier to combat higher TH10's and TH11's. Of course we'll see more troop upgrades, but people want new troops too. I think people will become fond of this troop since it brings the DDP, which could help out many armies, and the simple characteristic that suggests a ranged defense-targeting troop.

As for balance, there are always plenty of ways to counter troops. I don't think this troop will be too powerful now that we have a TH11 and all the new things to come with it.

Thanks for commenting. Let me know if you have any Questions/Concerns about the Cannoneer.

Nice ideea, well documented, is something i don't understand: Level 4: DPS-325. DPA-975

•Damage Decrease-45%


this means that in 3+3+3(1) second it will destroy the defense even if no other troop is attacking it ?

Glad you like the idea, but I'm not too sure I understand what you don't understand... Are you saying that the DPS was too high? You were right, the Cannoneer wouldn't play it's key role in supporting if it can destroy defenses in just a couple shots.

Don't worry, I fixed everything. Silly me.

Jaron, since a lot of people think the troop is too strong, instead of making the expense higher and the making the troop weaker. Why don't you just increase the housing space? Maybe to 30 or 35. Would make it fit better to me.
