EPIC Units and Upgrade-able Troop Buildings
So as the title states, i suggest the implementation of Epic units as well as the ability to upgrade troop producing buildings.
First off, let's discus Epic units
The idea of an Epic Unit is that they give great stats and higher bonuses to champion units but cost an absurd amount of resources. Epic Units would also be able to boost other units (like a champion unit does) but instead only has a unit size of 5. However Epic Units would be very costly. Not only would an Epic Unit use a lot of bronze/timber/grain, but would also require a new currency called an Epic token. These Epic Tokens are intended to be gained through tourneys somewhat easily (100 token for 25000 pvp points or so), however you can buy Epic Tokens using 100 GPs each. There would ideally be 2 Epic Units of each unit type (one offence, one defense).

So the next idea is the ability to upgrade troop training buildings
This idea is a lot less simple, as each upgrade would just lower the training time.
Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7 Level 8 Level 9 Level 10 <Sketch Levels> Level 11 Level 12 Level 13 Level14 level15
