The Renaissance: A TH 8 Base Design

Hey guys (and of course girls :p), my name is Geronimosemiro and I'm back with another TH 8 layout. This will probably be my last TH 8 layout, so savor it well. :D

The idea of this base came out when I wanted to make a base that had really good splash defense coverage, not focusing on air defense or single target towers. Because this base specializes in splash, please note that exposed air defense and other stuff that does not do splash damage is intentional for the maximum protection and coverage of splash damage. But I did sacrifice a wizard tower at the bottom for air defense triangulation for you guys.

I don't think you guys would like to read my chatter for any longer, with further ado, these are pics of the base:

Pros and cons of this base:

The pros:

1. Storages protected by at least 3 splash damaging towers/ traps
2. Symmetrical and rotational design
3. Triangulated towers
4. Base split in to multiple compartments
5. Funneling mechanism

The cons:

1. Slightly exposed sir defense
2. Weak against mass giants
3. Mortars all in one core
4. Bottom gold storage more exposed that others

Hope you like the base, if you have any ideas on how this base should be fixed or tweaked, please let me know by replying to the thread. Also I am open to criticism and of course even more open to compliments. If you liked the please tell me why and rate 5 shiny stars!

Geronimosemiro, signing off. ;)

Reserved for more versions

Lol R3 but I would like a review. :rolleyes:

The base looks solid! But I would change the air bomb locations and the wizard tower location, I could easily beat your base with balloonions because I could test for traps then go for an all out assault on the center (especially on the bottom)

Yeah this is true, but in order to have my lovely splash... :rolleyes:

Added one more pro and a con.

Your cc is way to lureable and your trap placement is horrible. Other than that not a bad layout, the main flaw I see is it looks like it would be a easy win from a air attack.

CC- This base is meant for Max DE protection, if you want a centered CC just swap it with the DE storage
Trap placement- No, it's not horrible. Archers get funneled in to that side and get destroyed by the bombs
Air attack- Read the thread. This base specializes in splash damage.

Almost flawless like I told you in game and you already metioned the cons...:rolleyes:

Why would you drop all your traps in one corner when they could be better used in funnels.....

Because the kind of funnel base you are looking for is not mine.

Guys if you like it or don't like please leave a reply on why. Thanks.

Any logs on this? Also which version are you using more? I think your bomb placement could be better imo.
Not a bad base though.

Well I have a question, if it is a farming base, why are your elixir storages so exposed? An army of gobs can strip you naked of elixir

This is base is meant for gold and de protection. You can put them in if you want, I'll be uploading a picture of that version soon.

Great base Geronimo! Can't wait to try it out when I get to TH8!

Logs will be coming soon, keep your eyes peeled. ;)

I use the farming version more since I am a farmer, and how would like the bomb placement changed?

If you don't like this base (this is for everyone) use my other TH 8 design;

Please read the thread, this base is meant for gold and DE protection only. The elixir is meant for meat shields against goblins. Also the wizard towers do in fact protect the storages, they just seem from a distance too far away from the storages, if you use it you will know.

Are they now called sir defenses, not air defenses?
