My town hall is en route to becoming level 8 in roughly 6 days. Just thought I would share my TH7 layout and its success before saying goodbye to it soon.

It's nothing special, just an open base with only 1 layer of wall protecting all the important buildings. That is what I was going for, a vulnerable looking base. I called this, "The Bait." :cool: As strange as it might sound, my favorite part of this game is watching replays of people attacking me and fail. The more people attracted to attack me, the more replays, the merrier. This layout does just that, attracting attackers. Most people don't fully understand how troops' AIs work, and this layout capitalizes on this fact through pathing and funneling. Anyways, I don't wanna bore you guys with details. What are your opinions?

Also, here are a few additional victories that stood out. Enjoy :D

Level 82 attack for 50K/50K + 3 lvl 2 Dragons defeated

In my experience, trophy range has little to do with who ends up attacking you and with what troops. At lower trophy, the "lowbies" just skip your base, and the others, who would be at higher trophy range but dropped down to farm, are the ones attack you the most. Most of the attacks I get now are from TH8's with a wide selection of troops being used. I can't imagine it being that much different going up to 1800, other than more people focusing on getting just the 50% for trophy hunting purposes.

I normally stay around 1000-1500, and start dropping at 1500 for the sake of farming. Past 1500, it takes too much effort to effectively farm those TH9's with lvl 4 troops :p.

Also, it seems I get attacked less often at higher trophy range than I do in 1000-1300. I think it has to do with the fact that TH7's & TH8's are advised to farm in the 1000-1300 range, and TH9's just avoid me because of the loot penalty.

I totally agree with it being fun watching the replays and seeing how frantic and confused most get. Its clear that most see an open base design as being an easy target, and then suddenly they are totally out of their comfort zone and just start either spreading troops too thin or give up.

It's my base that Humuhumu posted with replays earlier in this thread, and although I was sceptical at first to a design that seemed strange also to me, the results prove that there is beauty in the chaotic mess of it.

Glad to hear from another fellow clasher, who shares the same view on "open" bases and their surprise element. One of my favorite reactions is when they panic and start mass deploying "around" the same side of the base just to watch them all clump together through the funneling entrance. :o

A little update on my base. My TH is 2 days from lvl 8. All my defensive buildings finished upgrading, so I'm just upgrading my lvl 7 pumps with my other 4 builders. :rolleyes: I decided to let my base rise in trophy by itself the past couple of days, without much attacking/farming. It seems to be doing quite well and is on its way to 1600's.

3 more days (A) haha well 2D22H or something like that xd

gota say genius deserves credit, and I am giving you plenty of it. I used your Th7 concept, and tweaked it a bit since I dont have barb king, teslas and stuff, or lvl 7 walls or anything, but I just come home to see 37 lvl 4 giants, 10 lvl 3 wallbreakers, and a lightning spell fail to get above 30% damage. this is a good design, GOOOD JOB!
