Thanks to the users of this forum, I have learned that the base design pictured below is a (poor) example of an anti-everything type of base. Thank you to everyone that has replied.

The purpose of the base below has been explained by Stitch. Thank you.

whether that works in practise or not is another matter.
These base designs are called white flag bases.
All the outside buildings will give the attacker 50% so he will leave the storages.
an other option is: if the attacker will attack giant/healer, the giants must walk a far way to finally get to a defensive building so it will take a lot of time.
Bases with that shape are generally supposed to be anti-hog. This means that there is a core of defense, a second layer of non- defenses, and a third layer of defenses. Therefore, the hogs will run around the outside of the base instead of jumping into the core.
Unfortunately for this user, he has placed defenses in the second layer. Hogs will now jump right into his core instead of circling around the outside and hitting traps.
I can see that, I guess. Wouldn't it make more sense to move the point defenses out of the compartments and into the core then? Give the attacker an easier 50% but strengthen the core in case they get greedy.Quote:

The walls are good.
There should be a middle ring of non-defences (ie: storages / heroes / barracks etc) to keep hogs running outside.
I also liked to push the spawn zone further back so wall breakers have a long way to travel. x-bows normally kill them.
The design also makes troops walk the long way around wasting time.
It's mainly Anti-Hog but does well against other armies too. Just don't copy that one.
Ok, thank you.Quote:

This is a combination of anti-... Bases, just not a very well put together one.
it is anti-hog, all troops should be guided around while getting shot at, but since he has defence in the middle ring, this won't work.
it is anti-giant-healer/golem/pekka, all the troops will walk around the walls, which will mae it hard to 3 star because it takes too long
Thank you to those who have replied to the first base I have posted.
Would anyone like to explain the purpose of what I call the soccer ball base pictured below? Thank you for your time.

As I understand it supposed to confuse the AI of the wallbreakers.
I guess I can see how WB's would have a hard time getting to the core.Quote:

No one is going to carry an army to beat that in Gold League. It won't stand a chance in Masters though.Quote:

Thank Stitch, I appreciate the input.Quote:

I ment to come back to the thread but then got busy with real life. Stitch explained to me that this base design is basically an anti-everything base however, this particular example, is poorly constructed.
Would you, Stitch, or someone else, happen to have an example of a proper anti-everything base? Thank you for your time.

I would not call this an anti-everything base, because to me, such a base does not exist. What it protects against one army, it will give up it's strength against a different army.Quote:

This is a sample off Anti Everything so call base that I design after getting many ideas from a lot of other functional base design....it has antihog ring, Giant funnel system, small and big compartment for time waster for Wiz, Witch, archers and WB, etc....I used it for quiet a long time.
But even so, comes to the question, does it defends well against all troops? How well is 'Well'?
In the end, It was kinda failed effort, but I liked it.
