Idea:

=Game Modes!=

Summary

 * Game modes are special types of battles you can play.
 * Each game mode has a unique characteristic that makes it different from regular battles, tournament battles, challenges, and other game modes.

Using Game Modes

 * To play in a game mode, tap and hold the "battle" button in the middle of the screen. This will cause a menu with several tick boxes to appear.
 * Tapping a tick box will cause the corresponding Game Mode to be active until you deactivate it by tapping the box again.
 * Tapping the "i" button next to each game mode will show the details of that game mode.
 * You can have as many game modes active as you wish, but keep in mind that the more game modes you pick, the fewer potential opponents you would have, and the longer matchmaking would take.

Types of Game Modes

 * There are 8 game modes in total.
 * Mining Wars - "There's elixir to be harvested! You now control Elixir Collectors instead of Arena Towers. Protect them, and don’t let the enemy take them over!"
 * The two Arena Towers are replaced with Elixir Collectors. Each collector generates 1 elixir per 2.8 seconds, which is the same rate as the Double Elixir Overtime. But instead of getting 1 elixir per 1.4 seconds, the player gets 2 every 2.8 seconds.
 * The goal is to destroy the King Tower, which is unaffected.
 * Once an enemy elixir collector's health is reduced to 0, that collector turns to your side. It will then generate elixir for you, at the same time as your two other collectors. (In this case, you would get 3 elixir every 2.8 seconds.)
 * If you capture an enemy collector, enemy troops will target it. This makes it a pseudo-tank. Keep in mind that if its health is reduced to 0, the enemy will capture it again.
 * You cannot use the Elixir Collector card in this game mode.
 * Great Profits - "Need more elixir? Now, every time you destroy an enemy troop or building, you get half its elixir cost back."
 * Every time you destroy an enemy troop or building, you gain half its elixir cost back. For instance, if you defeat a Valkyrie, you would gain 2 elixir.
 * For troops/buildings that have an odd elixir cost, always round down. For instance, if you defeat a Barbarian Hut, you would gain 3 elixir back.
 * The normal elixir production (1 every 2.8 seconds) is unaffected.
 * Super Speed - "Every troop is very fast!"
 * Every troop now has "very fast" for their speed. This dramatically increases the amount of action in matches, but also makes it more difficult to build up large pushes.
 * Infinite Match - "Don't let your opponent be saved by the bell. Matches cannot end due to a time limit!"
 * Now, a match cannot end unless one of these occurs:
 * You destroy the opponent’s King Tower.
 * You destroy more towers than the opponent before 3 minutes.
 * You destroy a tower after 3 minutes.
 * My Land - "Everything the sun touches is your land! You can deploy troops anywhere in the arena. Buildings aren’t as portable, though."
 * You can deploy troops anywhere in the arena, much like the Miner. Buildings are unaffected, and can only be constructed on your territory. (This territory increases if you take enemy towers, as usual.)
 * This Game Mode forces the player to always be alert, as the opponent could deploy a high-damage troop like a Mini PEKKA or Lumberjack on your side, causing a lot of damage to your tower.
 * Topsy-Turvy - "It's topsy-turvy day! Troops that can only attack buildings now go for troops, and vice versa!"
 * Troops that target buildings now prioritize troops.
 * Troops that do not target buildings now prioritize buildings.
 * Defensive buildings are not affected in this Game Mode.
 * Follow the Leader - "Will you lead or follow? One player is randomly selected, and both players play using their deck!"
 * When the match begins, one player is randomly selected. Their deck is then used by both players for the match.
 * While playing this Game Mode, keep in mind that you may be forced to play with a deck filled with cards you are not skilled with!
 * Elixir Geyser - "You've found an incredibly rare elixir geyser! Spend elixir without limits!"
 * For the entire match, you will always have 10 elixir.
 * This Game Mode encourages players to use higher cost cards, as they will take no more time to deploy that low-cost cards.
 * Always keep in mind that the opponent has the same benefits.
