Confusion: attacks and/or spells hit a random target, possibly on the other team than intended. ---

5th troop is a bad idea - this would eliminate the ‘hard choices’ that face a lot of teams. ---

It would, however, introduce a whole new set of teams that would be invincible if we could just squeeze _that one troop_ in there. ---

How about an extremely long gauntlet where you bring exactly 1 copy of every troop that you own and as one dies the next moves up! ---

Horde/Zombie Mode: face a never-ending onslaught of an enemy (or mix of enemies — maybe from specific kingdom pools if this was attached to them rather than in the “games” tab). Buffs to life are disabled — rewards are given based on kill-count before eventual, inevitable, death (and would have to be quite large, given the time sink such a mode might be). Big/Giant gems: mana gems that take 4 (or even 9) board slots, award that much mana when matched, but that only count as a single gem for matching purposes. ---

A few weeks ago I was thinking about what having a front row and back row assignment would be like. With magic-heavy or weaker troops being set to the back row, and more resilient and attack-heavy troops being able to be set to a front row. In this configuration, back row troops would either take a reduced amount of skull damage or none, and if dealing skull damage, it would be reduced or cannot deal skull damage if assigned. if a front-row troop dies, the attack damage is dealt fully by the next front-row troop, rather than the next in line. I was only considering it in the context of a 4-troop team, but if 5 troops were a thing I think it would be a more fun application of 2-row. In my imaginings, any troop could be set to front or back row, but perhaps requiring either a 2-3 or 3-2 configuraion would lead to some interesting gameplay. ---

Three-dimensional gem array (8x8x8). No, it wouldn’t be difficult to play, shut up. ---

No one would risk their best cards on that proposition — too brutal (but fun if they were only removed for the duration of Wars, then given back after) 😆 ---

**Public read-only API to access game’s, player’s, event’s and guild’s data.** It may even restrict usage and temporary block those who do not use caching. API will help developers to enrich the game with various supportive tools, funny & silly local competitions, more intellectual knowledge bases, etc. Game data (info&pictures): - kingdoms - factions & their delves - troops - weapons - classes - pets Player’s Data (by invite code): - basic info: avatar picture, level, name - kingdoms (levels & power) - troops (at least existence) - weapons (at least existence) - classes (level, traits, mastery level) - pets (at least existence & rarity level) - underworld (renown scores in detail) available resources, VIP level, armour, teams, etc. are hidden. Guild Data (by login/password, invite codes access is probably resticted based on players’ rank) - basic info: name, shield, statues - players list with invite codes and current gold/seals/trophies (Roster) - list of current week’s guild events Event Data (login/password and event id) - intro: name, lore, whatever else - rewards stages: list of ‘how many points for reward’ - results for all guildmates ---

Is a month later too late to have an idea? Or two? 1. Per-board-manipulation trait-triggers. “Convert 1 gem on the board into a [skull, blue gem, etc…]every time a gem match is made,” Or steal one life from all enemies whenever they make a match. Basically, make players think twice about maintaining their boards and/or creating cascades as they are currently incentivized to do. 2. Random gem conversions, ideally as part of a mythic’s spell with an extra turn built in. “Rainbow’s Grace : change every gem type into a random gem type, then gain an extra turn.” I could imagine fun scenarios: entire boards become skulls, or doomskulls, half the colors roll into blue and suddenly it’s a flood, or every color repicks itself and nothing happens at all — incredibly unlikely, but hey! RNG is RNG, and that’s what the extra turn is for 😉 I also think this could be a fun storm type. Chaos Storm: 10% chance to convert a random color into another. But I can’t see myself actually _wanting_ the randomness by choice as a storm 😂 [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/small-ideas-with-huge-consequences/64725.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/small-ideas-with-huge-consequences/64725.md?page=3)
