Clash of Clans is a very famous game on the iOS which I love. It involves building a village and defenses upgrading them to defend your self from other attackers and you can also train your own army or troops each with different abilities and highs and lows. So I though making a mod for minecraft would be cool
So first things first I would put a twist on the fact that you will be protecting a base which you have 10 (minecraft) days to build in the normal survival fashion. Then you are open to the world and the stronger you defenses and armies are the more stronger NPC's you will be raided by. Because it's minecraft. I thought instead of the normal barbarians, archers, goblins, giants and so on. Instead You could train minecraft themed troops. You would build a base with a core in the middle which is where you can control your base and all of the defenses linked to it. But others troops will attack you and try to destroy it.
You can then gain some money from slaying monsters or winning attacks yourself (which I'll get onto later) or collecting from your resource collectors. Which can be upgraded. They will over time give you some loot and because it's not a freemium game like clash of clans you can get money from core in the CHEATING sections.
You would spend these resources on buying troops or upgrading your defenses or upgrading your collectors. (If you are a clash of clans fan you will know of storages which can also be upgraded to house more money but that in my opinion is a freemium aspect and will be left out).
You will control everything in the classical (unlike clash of clans where you look from the top) 3D 1st person or 3rd person view. All attacks will be random at the click of a button you and your troops will be placed at the enemies base. Here you can press buttons to deploy troops wherever you want or this can be done on a map. You can the get in on the action and fight yourself because why not.
The defenses go as follows:
Walls:
Cheap to get but get much more expensive the more you upgrade. (Trust me they get uber-expensive in the original clash of clans) they can place at will and the enemy must break through them first to get to your base. They are useful when because the next defenses work well when behind them.
Anvil Shooter (cannon):
These defenses shoot anvils as a true minecraft twist on things. It can fire from behind walls and is usually the front defense same with...
Dispenser Tower (archer tower):
This is like the Anvil Shooter but does more damage and shoots faster and has more range and if upgraded can shoot multiple arrows at once.
Anvil Bomber (mortar):
This does splash damage and is really powerful the more bunched up the troops are the more damage it'll do like a splash potion only a lot bigger range and with anvils. (I don't why anvils, seems minecrafty, weird but normal). This defense will have a lot of range but will actually have a blind spot if you get close enough to it.
Witch Tower (wizard tower):
It seems that notch made witches perfect for this mod. All the witches will do is stand they're doing splash damage with splash potions. Neat.
Hidden Fireblaster (hidden tesla):
This defense is actually hidden until enemy troops get close enough. Then it shoots out of the ground and burns everything with flames.
Firework Defense (air defense):
I couldn't think of a good name for this so literally it's called the firework defense =/. It can only target air enemy troops but does a ton of damage to them.
X-Anvilbow (X-bow):
The X-bow is a crossbow which rapid fires arrows. This one fires anvils because it can. it does little damage but is ultra fast. It can set to target ground targets only or both air and ground targets (although this will decrease it's range).
Beacon Tower (Inferno Tower):
This is the strongest of all the defenses. As i modified it instead of shooting a beam of fire it shoots a beam of a beacon which has a instant damage effect on it. Upgrading increases this damage effect.
My hands are already hurting so I think I'll post the rest if you guys like the post if so say MORE or MOAR or something like that and i will post the rest of my ideas here. I haven't covered the building the troops. So many things.
BY THE WAY the reason to say MOAR is because I was thinking of actually making this mod a reality. If enough people want to code, texture, model and play test go ahead give me a PM or say post in right here.
