I. Intro
I am Taylor The Epic, the leader of a farming clan, Reddit Rise and really enjoy long walks on the beach and trying to find bases that work well for all town hall levels. Lately I have been working on some different Town Hall 8 bases, and seeing which ones are best for certain attacks and trying to combine them all into one. As most people know, Town Hall 8 has a hard time defending against TH9 and TH10. This can lead to some problems when trying to protect your resources. Hopefully you guys can help me in trying to work out all the tweaks to this design and making it as effective as it can be. Now, onto the base.

III. How the Base Operates
In the past, I have tried to use vault bases for farming. I've made my own, which didn't work great, but okay. I've used ones from here, such as The Tempest, which is probably the best TH8 Vault base out there. The thing I've found with vaults is that they are a huge gamble. You either win and don't lose anything, or you get destroyed and lose it all.
All of the has led me to where I am now, a single core. This single core contains a pre-attack unlurable CC, and on the outside has 3 mortars and a wizard tower for maximum splash coverage.
My personal favorite part of the base, and the hardest to get down, is the traps that lure giants and hogs to them. As you can tell, there are 4 compartments on the outside, one on each side. These all contain one point defense, and 3 of them have a tesla, while the back one has a giant bomb. These compartments area all open, so to attract giants to them. What happens when a giant goes after, say, a tesla, is that the run into two spring traps, taking down 8 of them and wounding the rest. Those that are wounded are then taken out by the centralized splash rather quickly.
If the attacker does manage to get into the center of the base, they will run into centralized wizard towers, mortars, and air defense.
The Vortex does have all 3 gold storages, all 3 elixir storages, and the de storage in different compartments, so a 3 star is about the only way the attacker can get all resources, which is very, very hard without level 5 hogs.
IV. Defense Log
I haven't been attacked much lately, even though I've been breaking my shield and logging bask off whenever I am attacked. Due to wanting to see how this holds up at higher levels, I have been pushing up to around Gold 1 and will post back with some more logs once I do.

VI. Future
I would like to work on making a trophy version of this base. That is, as long as everyone finds that this one works.
I encourage anybody that would like to try this base out to do so, and also to pm me any logs they have, as well as improvements to this design they may have. I strongly appreciate any constructive criticism you may have about the base or the format of this thread. Also, I ask all of you to please try and help improve this design in any way, shape, or form you know how to.
VII. Changes
-I have swapped out the elixir storages for the wizard towers, for maximum gold protection.
-Took out the giant bomb in the upper right hand corner and moved it to the entrance of that compartment.
