@OP: couldn't disagree with you more
1. Unique units should only be cosmetic, not stat differences!!
disagree. i'd welcome some balancing when wars come out, but i've seen all nations be successful. unique units don't make a huge difference in farming.
2. Nations should provide a special bonus that doesn't affect raids, either attacking or defending.
cosmetic differences are boring. disagree here too. with the option to switch, min/maxers should be appeased too.
3. There should only be 75%, 100% and town center victory conditions
disagree. why? have you played CoC at all? I much prefer the five star format over the three star format, particular for when wars get implemented.
4. You should only be allowed one wonder!!!! The wonder should provide a strong bonus to your nation.
again, disagree. how can more options be bad? so on the one hand, you want to nerd the bonuses people get from picking a nation, but on the other, you want the bonuses from wonders to get buffed? frankly, it sound like you picked a nation you're no longer happy with and are simply venting because you don't want to spend the crowns for a change.
5. Self-sustained economy. There is no reason to upgrade farms / caravans.
I'd be happy with a buff, but who really cares? if too many resources get introduced, the game will be too easy and ultimately, that's worse than being too difficult. i'm mid-late medieval and i'm not having any trouble advancing -- and i spend FAR less time than i did back when i had to farm in CoC.
my defense upgrades cost 400k to 700k gold. that's obtainable in 8 raids -- fewer, if i get lucky. and i can attack with minimal troop training time. even upgrades that cost me 700k gold can be obtained in a single evening. if costs go up to a few million in gunpowder or enlightenment -- you're still able to farm 5-10% of the total cost in a single attack.
do you have any idea how long it takes to farm in CoC before they buffed the league bonuses? WAY LONGER.
if you're complaining about minimal upgrades, have you seen the difference between level 3 and level 4 xbows in CoC? or the archer upgrade changes from levels 5 to 7? something about your post makes me think you haven't really thought this through.
