A TH8 Farming Base [NEW] - The Walk Of Shame

Here's my Th8 Farming base - original and made from scratch.

(v1.0)

(v1.1)

(v1.2)

Pro's

- Centralized CC
- Triangular Splash
- Split / Central Gold Storages
- Point defence has mostly even coverage
- Efficient Funnelling

Con's

- Slightly lurable CC on one side.
- Rather long funnelling strip (v1.1)
- Giants ignore cannon after AT is down and attempt to break open walls leading to 2nd layer thus ignoring the spring trap leading onto the cannon (v1.1) & (v1.2)
- Please provide more cons.

I am experimenting with the funnelling and am eager to try some designs for the 3rd / outer layer.

MODELS:

(v1.0)

- Funnelling strip rather elongated appearing slightly ineffective at times.
---------------------------------------------------

(v1.1)

- Addressed long funnelling strip issue. However Giants/Hogs ignore cannon after AT is down and go for the wall protecting the Tesla.
---------------------------------------------------

(v1.2)

- Attempted to move Tesla further over to prevent giants / hogs from targeting it after the AT is down so that they aim for the cannon (open pathway to cannon) and are forced to take flying lessons (activating the spring trap). However, after AT is down they now go for the 2nd layer, eg where WT & AD are, and again ignore the cannon.

- Also slightly re-arranged outer buildings to force 15 housing space to activate each spring trap when troops are within the vicinity (using the trap's full 15 housing space potential).
---------------------------------------------------

Looking for ideas/inspiration on to how to improve these issues or any others you can see in order to produce a (v1.3).

Thanks to those who have already pointed out some potential flaws which along my with defence replays have enabled me to make the changes I have so far.

Advice and feedback would be fantastic and I would be most grateful.

NB: Usually I would separate my gold storages however I am just observing some of the results of placing them all in the core.

Cheers👍

Cons- With Wallbreakers easy to break in
Wasted walls on too long funnels
Outside elixir
Gold storages too close to one another

Thanks for the reply!

So would you reccomend shortening the funnelling?

I have too much of the purple stuff so they work quite well as tanks!

With the gold storage, perhaps I could move the west storage down a space? Or you would change where the third is located completely? I was considering placing them all in the core and turning it into a vault.

This is my style, but I would definitely shorten the funneling.
I get that they are tanks, but maybe you should make one for th8s not yet maxed on elixir.
I would switch the southern storage with the DE, and maybe move the western one too.
I think th8 vaults are interesting, maybe try one of them in the thread about it.
No problem! My pleasure, I love looking at new designs:D

I will mess around with the funnelling but by shortening it I'm not sure what to do with those extra walls!

Hehe, more separation! Yeah!

Don't think funnels will work, wb will break into the teslas

Thanks for the reply.

I've had 2 mass giant attacks where the wb opened the compartments to the Teslas. However the giants finished off the tesla and in the first scenario walked over to the AT, getting sprung by both traps, or in the 2nd scenario went into the second layer, and after they have finished with the WT, came back around to finish off the AT and got sprung.

However I can share your concern because if the AT were to be taken down by some other troops then I would imagine the springs would have no effect as no giants / hogs would have any need to walk over them.

So I had a fiddle with the 3rd most outer layer and gave it a fresh look - hopefully addressing some of the funnelling problems.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks :D

That looks so much better!
Nice job!
