How about sniping incoming scouts?

Uhhh like what does that mean? You can attack scouts? This has the same problem as the sniping resources, just a lot worse. It’s hard to attack things that are moving, especially since your march is usually slower than a scout. Second, what would this do - What would a successful attack do? The guy loses some gold? What do you get for sniping scouts? After all, I could just scout them again... third, what determines the winner? A scout doesn’t have a strength to it... would it be like the scout always loses?

Maybe if you are being scouted, you can attack it and then you won’t be scouted? Well I don’t really see the value behind this.

This idea would just be too hard to implement. I kinda see the value of sniping resources, but attacking scouts just removes the purpose of scouts entirely.

 

Well, a scout is one troop... so you get a single troop kill from this? Also, depending on town hall level, you get like 500 gold?

While attacking resource gifting might be a option (although I think it’s pretty dumb), attacking a scout would be pretty gosh dang hard to implement... would you send a march towards the scout? How many troops do I need to send for it to be successful?

The only sniping which I find the most viable is attacking resource nodes, but that would also be pretty dumb... wait till someone’s almost done gathering then snipe them. Currently, it just kicks you off the node and you keep your resources, which is a much better idea. These sniping methods are really just too hard to implement and not worth it.
