So, this is my first th8 base I designed. I believe Ive got the design checklist checked off on each bulletin, but Id love some feedback. So, without further ado, I give you... Crosshair!

Looks OK, just a couple of things from me:
1) I don't see the point in giving freebies at TH8+ - your army camps, lab, and builders huts are all easily taken by a single archer; the huts in the corners trick only works at low TH levels, IMO, and basically I think every building you have should be covered by at least one of your defenses.
2) have you really done all your big elixer upgrades, or do you farm so much you never need to protect it? Or do you flip between protecting gold and protecting elixer (I often do that, so pushing empty stores to the edge is good)
3) I don't like you little bombs - I like spring traps vs Giants, and bombs vs archers; your little bombs seem to be most likely triggered by giants, I'd suggest putting them where they will get bunch(s) of archers (or barbs), pushing them back and allowing mortar / wiz towers another shot at them.
First off, thanks for the critique!Quote:

2) I farm so much I never need to protect it. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that I just bought lvl 5 wizards, which is why my elixir is at 750k and not higher.
3) I dont have enough spring traps, so I thought I might as well fill the space with the bombs. Should I close the exterior cannon funnels, and use the places where the bombs are as my only funnels?
You've got a few spring traps on funnels leading to elixer - those are probably going to fling goblins in the air, not giants, which is a wasted opportunity. I'd close off the elixer funnels, and make more use of spring traps in funnels that will (most likely) catch giants, i.e. funnels that lead to defenses. If you really want funnels to your elixer, replace these with small bombs. :)
Your base is really similar to mine, except my funnels lead to defenses mainly, and i've had some success with it.
I was wondering if you'd critique mine as well? I don't mean to hijack this thread, but our bases are so similar it seems almost silly to start a new one...?

Sorry, I'm on an iPhone so the quality might be small to see.
Great, I fixed that :) Ive updated the OP with a new pic, how does that look?Quote:

Well, yeah, but design is what this thread is about XD Its okay though, I dont mind. Just really didnt understand your logic.Quote:

And since yours seems to be a hybrid, I was originally just going to read through your critiques and try and see what I can do to mine. Then I thought, "why don't I just post a screenie, and see what happens?"
So I welcome your input, and I'll give you mine as well :)
I would switch your mortars with your gold storages to centralize your mortars more.Quote:

Well, splash is low level because Im a brand new TH8. As for gold and de in core... yeah, I know... *sigh*. Call it a vault? :PQuote:

Anyways, thanks for the feedback. I dont plan to use this base forever anyways, and I'll make sure to keep my gold storages seperate on the next one ;)
