The more buildings u have, the harder to protect the 50%
I think the 50% attacks are the #1 vulnerability for maxed out bases..
Obviously the defense towers, army camps, research labs are essential. Even storages make great tanks. But those gold mines and collectors really count against u. Having 5 builder huts with very low hp hurts too.
If I started over again today, I would use
- 0 resource collectors. just raid that gold and elixirs like a real pirate.
- 3 barracks. They would still train faster than the spells and hero regen
- 3 builder huts (will require some gemming)
That's 18 less buildings to protect!! 50% win would be impossible. I would put all my defense in a close ring (like the the spartan phalanx) with TH in the middle. Then another ring of thick walls. Then the storages to tank. My base would be invincible!!
