Is there no amazing th7 base out there? So sad...

There are a few tried and true designs but the problem is they are so used the weaknesses are exposed and such... Best to just make one from scratch based of a well known one or the basic principles of base design and roll with it until TH8... Just spend you loot right away anyway and people have no reason to attack you..

All of the wall junctions allow access to at least 2 compartments if wb's break in. Look at the "Anti-Wall Breaker techniques" section of this post:

I am not saying the base has not been working for you. I am saying it could be better designed in this regard.

That concept only applies if the junction is one that a wall-breaker can/will target. While it's usually safest to stagger the junctions, if it's at the cost of some other concern then you need to look more closely at your options.

The only important question is then: Can a wall-breaker get to that junction while the compartments are still full? I don't have a definitive answer to that, but it looks like it would be difficult.

I Wonder what my layout base design refer to...

i kinda create by my own, but still, since i see lots and lots of them on the wild my definition of (by my own) surely i'm not the first one to have done such design...

where can we find those "name" base design?

i mean where the names come from too?

The rule of thumb that X-junctions are poor very often is true, but it is just a rule of thumb. You always have to do a little logic check in your head and find out why they might be poor in a given design.

For example, the X-junction on the Eastern end could theoretically be blown, and open the compartments for AT, mortar, and cannon in one go. But how easy is it really to target that junction? A WB dropped to the East of the camp will target the closest enclosed building (AT or cannon), run towards it, and blow a wall that isn't part of that junction. The only way it's going to target that X is if both the cannon and AT are already gone, in which case it won't matter one bit that those compartments get opened. While it may be possible to somehow get at that junction earlier, it just doesn't seem like anyone could pull it off with any degree of reliability.

I know that X junctions are for the most part bad, because of the splash damage that a Wall Breaker does, but you got what I am doing by using the design I did. I am using the AI of the troops to my advantage. For the 3ish weeks I have had this design not one person has been able to target a Wall Breaker at that spot or the 3 other ones, because of what you said the Wall Breaker targets the closest occupied wall area.

Thank you for linking that for me to read, but surprisingly I have read that post (I stalked the forums for awhile). It is how I knew that the X junction I made would be almost never targeted.

I like this design so much I probably will just add to it when I get to Town Hall 8. :D

BinoYeti,

The X junctions are not good, but look at the offset T junctions you have all around the base. Wall breakers have splash so the offset junctions need to be offset by two walls if the wall breakers target the corner, which they will. If they were offset by two walls instead of one, the wall breakers would break into one compartment only instead of two. That would make the base stronger.

For example, drop a couple of wall breakers on the upper right side of the base next to the elixir collector/gold mine pair you have there. The wall breakers will go to the corner wall sticking out between the Archer Tower and Wizard Tower. A hole will opened into both compartments.

Anyway, I wasn't saying the base design was bad or didn't work. I was trying to give you information to improve it, that's all.

Junctions are something all the top base designers consider when making their designs. They avoid junctions as seen in your base. Take that for what it is worth.

Thanks for the construction criticism about my design. Junctions are very important and you are right about the weakest a bad junction has. I have yet to have those things happen to me. Now is that luck or the attackers inexperience or maybe the AI is off at times don't know, all I know is it is working.

When you come up to gold II or I, no th7 base is good enough, period.

Us the mantis I used the trophy version at about 1050 or so and II'm not that active on that accpunt I won over 15 battles and made it to gold 3 only attack once or twice

Did I metion that a week before my town hall had just finished upgrading to level 7 so I had(and still have) max level for th 6 besides walls
