As the main base design thread is once again very large, we've decided to make separate ones for TH7, 8, and 9. Please only post TH8 builds here, all base types welcome.
TH7 thread- http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...se-designs-TH7
TH9 thread- http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...9-Base-Designs
Why the DE drill inside? Switch that with the Tesla that's outside.Quote:

For those waiting for SpikeFood aka Officer Waffle's update on his base, this is his current base:

And here is PingFao's current base... oh wait 40% of his base is destroyed lol. will post later.
Too many walls used for single building segmentation.Quote:

Here is my current setup. Missing my wizard towers....
My original goals with this were:
1.) Center CC
2.) Center Gold, DE
3.) Segment Gold/DE
4.) Compartmentalize outer ring, increasing potential WB targets.
5.) Minimize exterior t-junctions, aiming to have 2+ segment joints to minimize wb splash.
6.) Traps pathing with HT etc.
7.) Everything else standard (triangle, close to center splash towers etc)

Also, currently thinking of switching to 3 storages to split things up when attacked. Also looking at moving storages out further, but that is all in the land of Excel right now....
Looks great... I love how you only have 2 storages and never upgraded the third ones, I wish I had done this.Quote:

Any input? I'm trying to decide this before redesigning me base.
I would go with 3 storages and just make a base that segments them well. It is in fact harder to get more loot from 1 storage if 3 of them are maxed.Quote:

I hesitate to post because I feel as if this design is a bit too "obvious" and boxy:
http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps004ac130.jpg
It is a development of a couple of earlier incarnations and has the following features:
Hybrid base
4-fold rotational symmetry (except for the TH)
Alternate cannon/archer
Hmm. That's it I think. Difficult to say how it holds up because it's not getting attacked much at all. I had a couple of million elixir in there for the past 2 days, hardly a bite.
However, what I have noticed is people aren't attacking with WBs! All I get is swarms, archers, barbs or gobs. Because of the placement of the single target defences, this base stands up well to that type of attack.
I did have one numptie hit me with FOUR lvl4 lightning, 180 lvl4 gobs (!). Got 300 DE and little else.
Clearly there are hidden teslas and traps but I'm not showing those in case one of you buggers decides to attack. I think you can see where they are anyway. Or perhaps that what I want you to think...
There are some really nice designs out there, hence my disappointment with this one which really only has defence placement to commend it. Obviously I am still upgrading the last of the walls. I think I might try and come up with a "weak wall" trap and have a few more hidden defences inside the main base. What do you all think?
Sarth.
My BK will be dead by archers anyway due to low lvl when im attacked, as soon as they have him notified, the BK is easy to pull out from the defence. Hence the arty position ;)Quote:

But yeah, go ahead, it should do great if your defenses and walls are high enough level.

Gonna modify it abit soon.
Why can't I post my SS here? It says that it needs the approval of the mod?
i went you a PM about this. Fix the junction on SW/SE where the cannons are so one set of WB can't get to to comparments and then wall off either builders huts or teslas next to teh wizard towers so you dont leave it exposed..Quote:

Using those extra walls to sturdy up a few of your weaker areas would do you a little more good (ie. segment a little more).
Yeah, we just trophy hunt the last week of each month. Then I drop t to farm. What would you say are my weaker areas to put the walls at? Thanks for your comments tooQuote:

here is how i will attack your base.
Black line- my arc of fire
Blue arrow- focus archers to clear pockets and town hall(damage soaker)
red circles- areas where I need to burst through.
Slightly tough for the average joe though.

Here's my farming base.
http://i50.tinypic.com/5x1o5w.png
My latest - earlier design turned out to be similar to TNT's, and I made some tweaks from what I liked about his (tower placements in particular). Mainly protecting DE and gold at the moment, and the elixir is just there to slow down and distract attackers. Would have at least one splash tower under upgrade for quite a few more days, so would probably have to keep shifting things around to compensate until they're all done.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed. :)

Modified my base slightly to avoid free shield.

http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/14335
My TH7 is a day from finishing upgrading and I've made this base as what I'm aiming for. Im trying to keep a strong ground defence without sacrificing my air defense that i see most people do. Trying to keep it as segmented as possible. I hve not been able to test it out yet so any advice and opinions would be appreciated
Why don't you want the free shield?Quote:

I then did something weird by swapping the air defences with wiz towars
I then stuck the TH inside because I was ticked off by getting so many free shields and no proper attacks!
At one stage the outermost parts were two 4x4 walls rather than one big 4x18. I had the tesla towers inside the gap.
Speaking of which, two of my tesla towers actually live almost exactly under the two blue arrows above. I am hoping people assume they are in the three/four obvious spots in the outer walls.
Food for thought though, I really value your opinion in particular :)
Sarth.
About time you come out of the shields to join the big boys. :rolleyes:Quote:

Personally, here is a guide for myself on whether a base is "easy" or not.
Take the base, and draw a line down the middle, up to you where you want to draw that line.
Assuming I only want gold/de, and assuming 4 storages, if 3 out of 4 are fully within a half of that line, then the base can be farmed.
For your base, this is the "Half line" :)

The top wizard looks abit exposed though.
After dual lightning on mortar, take down the th, then the wiz tower, i think possible to drill in from the DE Drill compartment.
But yeah, your high level defense makes it looks pretty tough to get all 4 gold+de storage.
Then it will depend on the position of your splash towers, whether I can get them down asap so that if its a case where a wall breaker cant reach, my troops have enough time to break through the walls.Quote:

And thats the good/bad thing about 2 storage haha.
Easier to defend, but one storage down = 100k loss, as compared to 3 storage, 1 storage = 66k only.
I have the problem that nobody try to attack my storages, its really boring and i can`t testing my base :(Quote:

Also, as Junliang said, I suggest spreading those 2 Northern Mortars, and moving the Northern Wizard Tower in. Other than that, your wall configurations look solid.

There is still some symmetry left. Red is Archer, blue cannon. For my purposes they are both long range single target therefore "the same".
You can see I must have tweaked my "perfect symmetry" to have two of the wizard towers away from their ideal spot. If you include them with the red/blue squares, voila - we have symmetry.
Sarth.
I do see your intended symmetries with the Point-Defenses. However, splash damage symmetry/coverage is much more important, which you seemed to neglected. Essentially, you want to have 2 equilateral triangular configurations, 1 for your Mortars, 1 for your Wizard Towers. For Point-Defenses, you want to have 2 equilateral pentagonal configurations, 1 for your Archer Towers, 1 for your Cannons.Quote:

I did move the wizards and replace them with air defences, everything is slightly compromised I guess. Prior to that I had managed to keep everything sort of balanced.
What I don't quite see is why the two triangle pattern is so important. I understand about having defences covering each other but the two advantages I see in my layout are:
1. I have protected my air defences
2. I have rapid fire splash damage (wizards) extending outside the outer walls.
I am trying to build up some loot and get someone to attack. I have been cup dumping all evening, getting back to 1250 ish only to discover there is next to no loot to be had. Better get back up to 1400 and see if I can tempt someone to raid me.
Until I get tested, I won't know if shuffling around the defences is helping.
I suspect the "fully boxed" layout with nearly all lvl7 is putting people off attacking at all. I'd skip a base like that....

You're welcome, PinkDMan. Regarding your design, it's a decent Chevron design, as Hannibal would call it. It seems a bit top-heavy, meaning most of your important buildings are located in the Northern end of the base. The Northern Wizard Tower and Mortars are quite exposed. My suggestion would be shifting those buildings one layer down to centralize them.Quote:

1 for Cannons
1 for Teslas
1 for miscellaneous things such as Storages, Barracks, Collectors, etc.; mostly to dump excessive Elixirs into upgrading DE Storage, DE drills, Dark Barrack, and such.

Still not sure where to put all those gold walls(working on upgrading, they're still new). I'd like more of a hybrid base, but could also stick to farming setup.
Any feedback good or bad is much appreciated.
