U guys r prob both either flammy or chief pat followers, right? Ill give three reasons y at TH8 u want 3 storages of each. One of them is a bit of a weak argument, but still a valid point. It is SO much easier to design a base with 4 storages to protect. 4 sides of the base, one storage for each. Means u can easily do a symmetrical/ rotational symmetrical base without too much effort. Second reason-altho this is slightly more a cloister base argument, if u have 3 storages, they can take (assuming theyre TH8 too) 66k from each. If u have to, 99k can b taken from each. So therefore, if someone has broken into ur core, would u rather they rage their gobs, who get two shotted by a well placed WT, get 66 or 100k? Plus, on a slightly cold side to the argument, its more hitpoints to kill if u got 3 storages, increasing the chance of saving at least one storage

Exactly my point, just in not so many words:)

It spreads out the defenses covering those storages as well. To be fair, if you're running a vault base, then high HP may indeed trump that. I use a modified Pokeball right now, with the core unchanged. I guess the question is: do you expect to be breached, in which case more HP to spread the gold over is better. Or do you intend to have a breachless design, in which case more DPS in the core would be more useful.

a third gold storage is very important. with 3 you can only lose 66k per storage, plus the added capacity is a big plus when you have long upgrades.

Update on my vault: Got 60% by two golems, three spells (heal light rage), loads of giants and wizards, archers, clan castle archers, and dual heroes. They got everything in my core, but that shouldn't have been too hard with four archers and a bk upgrading. The defense placement seemed to work out well but the outer layer is one compartment so they were able to destroy everything in it easily. Now with better traps I think a labyrinth or some sort of outer that relies heavily on traps would work very well.

No defense is breachless. Second, check out my base atm. How confident would u b of
1)getting in the core itself
2) stealing all the gold.
Number 2 got u a bit stuck? Well thats the point. And it almost helps, in a way, to have less defenses in the core as it means the giants will run around for longer before deciding to go in, especially if u look at my base(again) lolz

And also, at TH8 at least, theres not much worth putting in the core aside from cc, storages and possibly bk. I've stuck a couple wizzie towers in there to destroy any nasty gobs goin for my monies, but apart from that... Mortars r actually BAD to put in the core, as the dead spot means they can't kill anything attacking the buildings nxt to them

Im working on a labyrinth right now. Also put in a slightly spread core so one spell wont cover the entire thing. If u wanna check it out, pls do. Could someone also post it for me, as imgur is playing up atm. Thanx in advance

Something I rustled up quickly. :)

I think the labyrinth should just be on the outer layer, if it goes into the middle the heavy hitters are too exposed.
