Tiny Ringus-an early-mid th 8 anti-giant/ anti hog setup, inspired by peabaks ringus
Attention, this base is not properly tested yet, so if you don't like experiments, stop reading here =)
If you are aware of that and willing to test this base with me, just go on =)
This design could be a good design for an early (and almost maxed) th 8 or an epic fail, don't know yet =)
Hey Forum members,
For my mini-account I needed a good th 8 setup, which also works against those lvl 6 (mini tanks) giants.
I thought there are not enough anti-giant/anti-hog bases, for early th 8.
Th8 is a hard time, especially when you just finished upgrading, even from a fully maxed th7. Those lvl 6 giant/healer combos are undefendable, not even thinking about hogs.
So I decided to modify peabaks famous ringus. It was not that easy, as th8 doesn't have enough defenses nor walls to make a proper ringus design, but I think it's pretty close =)
Have a look here

By early I DO NOT mean a premmie or rushed th8, but when you come from a (mostly) maxed th 7, this base should work against the most common armys in gold 3-1. I even recommend to stay on your th 7 base setup till you got the new defenses on paar with the old ones, then it's time for a th 8 design.
I've seen some decent th8 bases (trapception, tempest, shuriken, pokeball, ttp, etc.), but they are either overused, or work best for at least advanced or almost maxed th8.
This is where my (I call it) tiny ringus setup is getting interesting.
Of course it won't be as effectiv as the th 9 ringus, as you don't have the 2 xbows, 4th tessla, 4th WT and 25 walls are missing, but I think it could be kind of useful against those defense orientated armys.
I made 2 versions.
NEW V2

Older Versions:
1. Farming version

advantages:
- cc completly unlurable
- staggered junctions
- you can swap around the defenses as you like, which is very useful especially when you upgrade them (as you can see I have 4 defenses upgrading at the moment)
- at least 2 giant bombs together, nice against hogs
- you can swap cc and de storage to even better protect de (attention: makes the cc lurable)
This is the original version, without any defenses upgrading

2. Transformer version:

Same advantages as mentioned above for farming version:
- simpy switch between farming and trophy version, just replace th with de drill and replace the drill with any collector
- you can swap th and cc if you prefer (attention: this makes the cc lurable)
I honestly prefer the farming version, as the funnel might work better, due to big "entrances" of transformer version the giant might not activate the spring trap. (Perhaps should rearrange these spring traps)
I just "created" both versions, so they are not properly tested yet, but they are pretty close to the ringus design. I just hope they serve me as well as ringus did to my main account.
Please DO NOT expect wonders from this base, there is no miraculous th 8 base out there (and probably will never be, till SC gives us at least a xbow, and still...)
You should also be aware that in the early stages of th 8 you will have to upgrade a lot of defenses which leaves you pretty vulnerable.
The main goal is not to win defenses, but to limit the damage. I've never been on a serious trophy hunt, and I'm not planning to do.
So if a lvl 6 giant attack finishes with only 3 or (max) 4 out of 7 storages, I consider this a win =)
Any feedback is highly appreciated =)
The 1st Defense log so far, please keep in mind, that I have 4 defenses upgrading and the rest of the defense is far from being maxed, as mentioned above =)

1. Barch attack, not really dangerous, wanted my gold and took one storage
2. Well, this was a th snipe and then tried to get some ressources - failed
3. Puh, this was by far the hardest attack since I reached th 8. NOTHING any TH 8 base could have done against this army. I mean 32 lvl 6 balloons + lvl 4 minions. This army is used in master and even champ to 1 or 2 star a maxed th 10 base. Perhaps if all my ADs are maxed and the rest of the defense like AT, WT and HT are close to max I would have stand a chance, but I don't think so.
So yeah a bad loss but I wouldn't call the base a fail due to that attack.

Not too much to mention, 2 heavy armies, didn't standy any chance.
yy.ko: there I figured the flaw in the base, as too much hogs entered the core

myflyty: This one upset me, how can a simple bag army take 5 out of 7 storages. Mortars down =(

as you can see, nothing interesting to mention, but you see storages are full =)
edit:
I wanted to properly test the base, before I present it here, but as I will be very busy next week and probably the week after, I decided to give it a go now.
edit2:
I don't know how to record replays on an ipad air, so if you know a good app, let me know and I can post some reviews here.
If someone knows how to hide(spoil) on this forum, please post the bbc code =) Way too much pics here now
