How's This TH6 Layout?

I figure this layout is pretty close to perfect for my Town Hall Level 6. My resources are spread out, attackers will need to bypass multiple overlapping layers of defense if they want them all.

My town hall is covered by multiple layers of defense as well for any trophy hunters. And all my defenses overlap well with one another for protection.

My mortars and air defense being centralized force attackers to push through other defenses and walls first, and my clan castle being centrally located keeps those troops from being lured out.

What do you think?

what is up with the poll options? Ahhahahha
anyways looks pretty good! Even though gold storages are spread out u could easily snipe both sides and run away with all the gold!
but yeh loving the centralised cc
hmmm lots of T junctions but you don't need to worry much about wallbreakers as a th 6
nice going man!

Hehe, it looks alright man, just make sure you spread the mortars to cover the whole base :D

It's pretty good actually. You could always switch one of the mortars for a wiz tower too

Thanks guys. Each gold storage is covered by the following defenses from sniping:

Wizard Tower
Archer Tower
Cannon
Mortar
Air Defense
Clan Castle Troops

The 2nd mortar can reach ground troops trying to hit the gold storages, but not archers sniping it. I figure that's about as good as I can get without putting the gold deeper into my base, but then exposing my defenses and risking getting completely wiped much more easily.

Regardless, even if someone does get my gold, I'm finding targets at this stage with 100-300K that are pretty easy to steal from, so I more than make up for it with my raiding.

I'm actually rushing from TH5 to TH7 because that's the sweet spot. But I've managed to raid so much during the 6 day upgrade time to TH7 that I maxed my walls and most of my defenses :)

If I did that I lose the better mortar coverage across my base from it being centralized, and the wizard towers are positioned perfectly to protect a gold and elixir storage each. So any pesky goblin raiders will contend with a dedicated wizard tower and mortar barraging them at any of my storages.

Also, color me pleasantly surprised. I figured my thread would receive a bunch of nasty troll responses, thanks for the comments :D

Sorry, not a fan. With your resources so exposed, it's extremely easy to barch all your loot. Two lines of barbs down each side with the archers to back them up.

Also I don't believe in protecting the TH at TH6. You aren't pushing, and even if you were, by the time you get up high enough for it to matter, everyone up there could just 100% your base anyway. Seriously, don't wall in your TH.

Hmmm, I hadn't considered that, but I would expect at this stage in my game:

1. I'm encountering more giant/archer/goblin type armies than barb/archer ones

2. I have FOUR defensive batteries covering each gold storage (wiz tower, mortar, cannon and archer tower)

3. I have THREE defensive batteries covering each elixir storage (wiz tower, mortar and then either cannon or archer)


They would get chewed up pretty heavily since they are troops that bunch up and against my wiz towers and mortars would be hard-pressed to withstand the barrage.

I guess there's the possibility of them dropping healing spells to keep the attackers in the game to snag my resources, but I still think it's going to hold up pretty well against the vast majority of the opponents I'm facing.

Not to mention I'm a day out from TH7 where I'll add two more canons, a third mortar, tesla, etc.

edit: And I have clan castle troops that can respond to the storages as well. If the attacker is coming with barb/archer combo they'll need to divide their forces in two, thus can't use a single healing spell to cover everyone, etc.

He is a TH6! You really can keep you storages behind more than 1 layer of walls starting at TH7! and if he wants to trophy hunt, let him, its his choice.

@OP: I think this is a really good TH6 base, just the TH is questionable.

Thnaks. What would you do differently with the TH?

Also, I'm not really trophy hunting, I'm more focused on farming and upgrading everything, but I also don't want anyone to have a cakewalk to one-star my TH either.

I can drop trophies easily enough farming if I'm worried my count is getting too high.

A terrible base. The th should not be in the middle of your base at th6. Plus your storages are far too exposed and would be easy to barch.. You say that because you have mortars and wiz towers protecting your storages you will be fine but thats not true. At your level those wiz and mortars dont stand a chance at lvl 4+ troops. Also terrible use of space in your base could have had extra walls to use. 3/10.

you have good design just try to cover most of the base with mortar range and pull the air defence in.

In theory you should not have a trophy base till maxed out th10.

First of all, its either a farming base or it isn't, no half way between farming or hybrid, or trophy or hybrid. In trophy bases, the th is in the CENTER! In hybrid bases, the th is OUTSIDE YOUR WALLS, but adjacent to a wall normally. In a farming base, the the is usually in some corner where its pioorly protected. All of your storages are very vulnerable to mass goblin attacks and giant bombs ARE WORTHLESS at the 6,; you're better off placing it in a corner where it won't be triggered and leave it there. I do like how you grouped off the mortars and the air defense, now if you could just center it… Overall, not a bad base but could be improved.

that's like saying TH8s should be able to defend from mass lvl 5 hogs or TH9s are supposed to defend from 12 lvl 4 dragons and 5 lvl 5 freeze spells. How are you supposed to defend from people a higher TH than you? What matters is if he can defend from his TH and lower, defending from higher THs is just a bonus. Like I said above, you can't really keep you storages behind more than 1 layer of walls until TH7; if you can then you have a bad base or you're sacrificing important defenses and exposing them (mortars, AD). and exactly, cuz of his lvl and what he has access to, he cant defend against lvl 4 troops. He said how's this TH6 layout, meaning how is it for a TH6? If it was overall, like every TH, then its a terrible layout, but for a TH6, this is pretty good. Maybe not the best, but pretty good. And what do you mean by terrible use of space in the base? I don't see what's wrong. He did some good anti-wall breaker work in there. And he only has 2 extra walls, so what's so bad about that? A lot bases have like 1-3 extra walls.

I just moved my elixir storages further left and moved the defenses that were there further right to tighten up my overlap of defensive buildings.

Yeah, if someone is coming at me with level 4 troops and maxed barracks, I'm going to be having some trouble, which is why I've exposed, somewhat, my storages. That allows me to better protect my defenses, because once those are down then my storages would be even more exposed, even if they were hidden "deeper" in my base.

So I'd rather risk losing some of my gold and elixir by exposing them, than sacrifice my overlapping defenses and thus weaken them, making it easier for my base to be overrun.

Fair enough, but the fact is your base is super vulnerable to barch. Yes, even a TH6 barch attack.

2. I have FOUR defensive batteries covering each gold storage (wiz tower, mortar, cannon and archer tower).
Doesn't matter, with a barch attack, the few barbs get targeted and take all the damage while archers sit back safe and sound and take down your storages. As the barbs are about to die, new barbs are launched and take their place while the archers continue to hammer your storages.

3. I have THREE defensive batteries covering each elixir storage (wiz tower, mortar and then either cannon or archer)
See point 2.

They would get chewed up pretty heavily since they are troops that bunch up and against my wiz towers and mortars would be hard-pressed to withstand the barrage.

A heal spell isn't necessary with the barbs taking the damage.

Not to mention I'm a day out from TH7 where I'll add two more canons, a third mortar, tesla, etc.

edit: And I have clan castle troops that can respond to the storages as well. If the attacker is coming with barb/archer combo they'll need to divide their forces in two, thus can't use a single healing spell to cover everyone, etc.
The attacker might need to launch some barbs a little more frequently, but they could still bring down all your storages relatively easily.

Answers above in red, but basically, you asked for an opinion, and I'm telling you that yes, I could take down all your storages with a TH6 barch army.

Believe it or not, when you are farming you want people to cakewalk to a one-star. You actually do not want to win defenses when farming. Yes you read that correctly. You want to lose.

Why do you want to lose? Because when you lose, you gain a shield and can't lose any more loot until you log in again. When you win, not only can you be attacked again, but your clan castle troops are probably dead and your traps were set off in the first attack. This means that you are super vulnerable on any repeat attacks and you almost always end up losing way more loot than you would have if you lost just that first raid. Even if you are worried about your trophy level for whatever reason, losing the TH in an attack only loses you a few trophies. You can gain them back easily with one raid. Seriously though, trust me and give it a try. You'll notice the benefits of having your TH outside your base within a few days.
