IMPORTANT: Version 2.0 is out! It addresses wbs going to the core and minimal luring at the courners of the base, there are two variations of the base this time, past verisons will be below with links
Intro.
Hi! My name is UltraDragonMaster and you might know me from my popular thread that is a sticky in this sub forum (A Beginner's guide to base building:The Dos and Don'ts of making a base(w/pics!) ) Anyways, welcome to my first ever base layout thread! The purpose of this thread is to showcase my base (that was created only by my imagination and is truly a one of a kind) and to receive constructive critism to make the base better.

There are 3 formations of the base, a trophy variation, farming variation, and a No DE protection/ War base variation (the base is more focused an trophy pushing and wars than farming, but it can make a good farming base too) Remember, the base is not the final product, it can be improved and made even better.

I first started designing this base after looking at TheOneKamikaze's Anti Hog base that he/she made, in one of the responses, Shinx asked for a TH 8 version, TheOneKamikaze said that there was too little buildings and that the base would be weak to other strategy, after seeing that I challenged myself to make a base that could have all of that, a base that has a unlurable clan castle and could defend other strategies, and I think I have done that to the best of my abilities

So I present to you: The Roundhouse!

Trophy/War formation

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/gwJ4c7r.jpg

v2.0 Variation 2

http://i.imgur.com/eiDsEa1.jpg

Not tested but feel free to try it out at your risk

For war swap the DE storage with the Barb king
The base features an unlurable clan castle, 7 possible spots for double giant bombs to confuse the attacker, centralised DE storage, triangulated mortars, air defenses and wizard towers, staggered wall junctions, spread out point defense coverage, advenced trap placement, and everything else an anti-hog base has to offer, the archer tower on the top right acts like the 4th tesla, being another part of the defense circle

The base w/o outside buildings

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/YMmp5DQ.jpg

v2.0 Variation 2

http://i.imgur.com/IoNMgsP.jpg

The core

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/6wbuYQj.jpg

v2.0 Variation 2
For this there is no pic because this hasn't been tested yet

Since this is a anti-hog base it has the important defenses in the middle and the main core is surrounded by non-defenses to prevent hogs from jumping in the middle

Clan Castle radius

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/LarGhxg.jpg

v2.0 Variation 2
For this there is no pic because this hasn't been tested yet

Remember when i said that the Clan Castle is 'practically' unlurable? Well that's because when someone tries to lure out the CC at the open corners there's a slight chance that they might graze the edge of the CC radius and draw out some troops, other than that the CC is unlurable

Attacker's POV (Point of View)

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/333VLHz.jpg

This is important as it will confuse the attacker, there is a lot of space for traps and 7 possible spots for double giant bombs

v2.0 Variation 2
For this there is no pic because this hasn't been tested yet

Just defenses

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/jKtc4eD.jpg
It's really easy to see the path that hogs take, around the base (hence its name)

v2.0 Variation 2
For this there is no pic because this hasn't been tested yet

Just traps

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/mgKlQDA.jpg

v2.0 Variation 2

http://i.imgur.com/0RRFEqr.jpg

To make it easier to copy the base

No De protection/War base variation

For use in Clan Wars or if DE is not a prority for you

For both versions just swap the DE storage for the Barb King

Farming formation

v2.0 Variation 1

http://i.imgur.com/3wf7pHg.jpg

v2.0 Variation 2

For this just throw out the TH on the trophy base, put a gold storage in the core and put a mine/pump into the empty space

Defense logs (These go from top to bottom)

1) Giant healer w/ barch and heroes to support, Giants spawned on the right corner, CC troops didn't come out until the Giants started hitting the cannon, used the lightning spell to kill them, then spawned healers, healers got shot down so the giants were picked off leaving the barch support vunerable and then dead, only troops left was some archers he didn't deploy yet and his CC troops, Barb king went inside center and did work while the rest of the troops got shot down, tried to get the giants to go into center with jump spell but failed, lucky wizard took out the last archer tower with an after life shot and the AQ took out the last cannon. I am currently using the trophy variation
2) TH snipe, last base I used before this one
3) TH snipe, last base I used before this one

Hi, I am trying out your new base v1 for clan wars... shall let you guys know how it goes...
But do note, that the setup in your pictures, (the core, w/o buildings, just traps screenshots) are slightly different from the 1st picture. The walls, traps and placement of the buildings... But I went ahead with the very first setup.

More than that mate, if you look carefully at 1st picture, your traps and wall placement is similar to v2 but the rest of the pictures are different. I went to look at your base, it is different from your first screen shot. I hope it still works. My base have not been attacked up till now. Please change, if not it is rather confusing. Thanks.

The only thing that has changed is the positioning of outside buildings, to make it harder to get 50%. Other than that the positioning of the defenses and walls is the same and everything else but the inside Builders huts and some decorations

http://i62.tinypic.com/k80ld.jpg
Got attacked 2 times, yesterday and this morning.

The top one: they lured barb king to the top and killed him. He dropped barbs and archers at top to clear out buildings. He broke through the wall at the top on the right once the giants destroyed the archer tower and cannon he used his hogs. After destroying the archer tower a few pathed to the middle and destroyed half of it. Rest went around the ring. The giants were punching the wall while the hogs destroyed the outside defenses. Once the wall was broken they went to the middle and destroyed the core and he dropped his barb king which just went to the outside. By then all the hogs were dead and so were the infantry. After destroying the core they went to the bottom left and destroy all of the defenses down there with a heal spell

The bottom one: he spammed all of his giants the hog and wall breakers at the bottom. When they destroyed the air defense they went left to the wizard tower. He dropped a rage on them. He then dropped archers for clean up and he lightning the clan castle troops. He dropped goblins to get the gold storage and used a heal spells. Archers went to the left and started shooting the air defense and elixer storage where he dropped a heal spell
June 25th, 2014

Because of the hogs going to the middle i pushed the archer towers out one block
June 25th, 2014
Awesomisticality

http://i59.tinypic.com/2r56j3m.jpg
Lost another defense
Lured and killed king. Spammed giants and hogs destroyed 5 defenses before dying. Archers and wizards destroyed elixer, altar, dark elixer, air defense, mortar, gold, and clan castle. Barb king and queen went around base but archer queen finally targeted the center bestroyed town hall with like one life left

June 26th, 2014
giovanco

I've implemented the v2.1 design of your base. And it seems that the base is very vunerable to barcher combined with giants. Im sorry that i cant post the def log images, but yeah if you can reconsider the base design so that it would be great againts conventional troops, it would be excellent. Hogs failed to penetrate the base tho.
June 26th, 2014
Jon6278

Ok, I was using the v2.0 variation1 for clan wars.

I shall say it held up quite all right, only got attacked until the last 30 mins before war ends. Was 61% 1 star by 9 level2 dragons. My Air Defense only still 1 x level 4 and 2 x level 5. So probably will be better when it is all level 6.

Will continue to use it for next wars to get more results.

Thanks.

I'll consider it, and I think I've pin pointed what the problem is, so I will try to edit the base
June 26th, 2014
Awesomisticality

The main problem i have found with this base is that once the attacker has breached the core there aren't many defenses shooting at them.
June 26th, 2014
Awesomisticality

You could possibly move an archer tower and wizard tower into the core
June 26th, 2014
Joebebad

It's hard to make a good Anti-Hog base at LvL 8. I can just send in a couple of Hogs to clear the first line of defenses to get close enough to the CC to lure it. So it all depends on how much brain the attacker got.
June 26th, 2014
Kenbeek44

I tried out variation number one and I gotta say it isn't working out for me. I'm getting one starred a lot, even two starred by low-tier armies. I'm not even that high in trophies either, around 1500. On the plus side, the clan castle is indeed pretty hard to lure, and it does perform pretty well against hogs.

I guess the main problem is that an attacker only has to take out about 3 point defenses to breach to the core. Also, the attacker has to be in the inner ring before the mortars start shooting.
June 26th, 2014
Ytiev

I now realize (by looking at my defenses and your feedback :)) that you just can't have everything in a base, sure this base has a practically unlurable CC, but by doing that, I made the base more weak to core breaches because the outer defenses don't fire towards the core, You can't have everything in a base :((sigh*) I might go back to farming and try to make a base.

BigPapiSolis

What do you think about just using as a clan wars base? Do we have any battle logs?

But like you said one base cannot have it all. If you protect against one certain type of attack it does make you vulnerable to other forms. Try to design a base that does well against most attacks. Keep your head up son!

Hi UltraDragonMaster,

I use v2.0 variation 1 for clan war, but i found that there is a problem, after hogs take out the archertower at the bottom, they will go attack AD in the core area instead of going attack WT.

I'll try to edit the base later, I'm farming now and currently testing a new base I made for farming so I might edit this base when I have a shield or something

My 2nd clan wars results...

-Opponent used 4 x level5 lightning spells to take out the bottom level 5 air defense (he misplaced one spell)

-Troops used to attack my base:
1) 100 level4 minions (weird strategy...)
2) clan castle of level4 barbs, archers and wizards,
3) level7 barb king and level5 archer queen.

Result: 78% 2 stars.

I shall say not too bad a lost... Opponent is a premature town hall10 whereas I am a mid level town hall8, level 77.

Will continue to use for 3rd wars...

Not trying to be mean here but there is no th8 base that is true anti hog, or unlurable clan castle.

Kind of fed up of seeing the same old title for the same bases.

As you can see most defenses still not at max, I am thinking could have been better if almost max out defenses...

I'm a new TH8 and have max defenses for TH7, and am working on upgrades now. I typically have over a million in gold and elixir and around 10k dark elixir. The base is working great for me. In four days I am +99 on defense trophies from wins. Have lost three battles. Two were attacks by lvl 6 giant swarms using 4 heal spells, and the third was 30 hogs with heal and rage spells. Neither attack came close to profiting. I am very happy with the base and I am sure that it will only get stronger as my defense continues to upgrade. Thanks for the base! ps. I hover around 1700 trophies. pps. I use version 2.2.

Clan wars results continued...
Didnt get attacked at all for 3rd wars...

For 4th wars, was hit by 2 attacks.

1st attack by 10 lvl3 dragons, another lvl3 dragon, 1x lvl5 wiz and 1 x lvl5 barb from CC, lvl8 BK and 3xlvl5 rage spells. 83% 1 star.

2nd attack by lvl5 giants, wiz, archers, barbs, wallbreakers, lvl3 healers, lvl5 BK, lvl4 healing and rage spells.
36% no star. It was a last second desperate attack from the opponent and we won the wars 55 to 54 stars.

So far so good, been using this base for 4 wars and it is performing well. After the new update, it is actually better because the BK can help to defend the town hall core since it cant be pulled out and killed.

I've been using version 2, variation 2 with a swapped DE storage and barb king in the clan wars. It's held up pretty well in wars apart from against dragons which regularly 3 star it. I have three level 3 air defenses and level 5 and 6 teslas. Not really sure what else can be done to protect against dragons?

Edit: Sorry typo above, should have been 3 level 6 air defenses.

Sorry bit of a typo there, I have 3 level 6 air defenses. Not 3. My bad. ie. the max at TH8. Archer towers are around level 8-9 and slowly being upgraded too. I quite often get attacked by dragons on the TH side of the base if that helps.

Which 1 performs better in war?

thank you for this base

I really dug this base design. I started using it when I was a late TH8 and used it for about 5-6 weeks. I am now TH9 so I need to move on to a different base design, but I think the whole time I used this base, I was only 3-starred once or twice. The base frequently foiled attempts to 3-star, even by TH9s who attacked me in war. The one time I remember being 3-starred was by a person who had a clanmate with this design as well!

If I had to do it all over again, I would again use this base for late TH8. It is unusual and frequently prevents effective hog attacks.

So which variation did you use?

2.0 Variation 1.

I also used version 1.0 a couple of times and liked that okay.

IMPORTANT: BETA v3.0 is out! It is a TOTAL REVAMP of the base!
I wanted the base to be more unique and I also have been honing my base building skills and this is the result! Even though I have moved on to TH9 take note that I only use TH8 buildings for all of you haters out there. And also remember that v3.0 is currently inBETA so its not a finished product! I might change the base around. I also need testers to help test BETA v3.0 and your feedback to help improve the base even more!

Base looks great. I will test it in our upcoming war. Btw, you're missing an army camp.

The outer ring is covered by nothing. Loons have an easy time on it. A loon per cannon/archertower, two loons per wizztower and the outer defense is gone...

Th8 only has 2 air seeking mines (black ones), you may want to change that.

I got three starred by about 40 level 5 hogs (the number two player on the enemy clan). There isn't much a th8 can do about it. However, the hogs entered the core easily. They jumped to the northwest mortar instead of the north cannon.

Would love to attack this with GoWiPe and Jump Spells

I would laugh to see a th8 attacked by GoWiPe... Overkill?
Why change a whole base around to defend against an attack th8's can't even defend against when you could rather defend against the far more common hogs and drags?

For the OP, the hog ring seems to be broken at the northwest mortar and northeast AD. When hogs attack the point defenses next to those, half of the hogs follow the ring and the other half enter the core.

I was, however, pleased that the base forced an xp level 102 to attack a 71. I was only attacked in the last 20 minutes of the war, and as I said, there isn't a whole lot a th8 can do vs level 5 hogs. I will continue to use the base, but the ring should be looked in to.

Living the high life are we? Any town hall 9 can 3 star a town hall 8. But hey, you feel better about yourself for attacking low in the wars. You are the type we love facing.

Testing v3.0

Testing this one out in Clan Wars. Will let you know how it goes. You have an oddly placed single wall at the top and you're missing a camp.

thx for testing it before sharing it. The base on the first pic may not be good against hogs since the hog ring is easily broken.

Got 3-Stared

I'm a Maxed TH8 and Easily got 3-stared with level 3 dragons with BETA v3.0 ...

juniorvarsity

I'm not maxed th8, lvl 5 ad, but also easily 3 stared by lvl 3 dragons with healing spells, probably didn't need the spells. I guess not enough to distract them.

It did very well against giant/healer, 52% 1 star.

No need for an overhaul, the base looked great. Keep the base and don't do any overhauls, I suggest you make a TH9 version.

Hi there, beta 3.0 looks really good.
Good job making unlurable cc and taking teslas in core.
The biggest flaw i think is your walling structure. Why are you walling your second layer with non defensive buildings and not walling your defenses?yes i know walls dont matter for hogs and dragons doesnt mean you take the risk to ignore other troops like giants, pekkas,BK,queen(you know how much she loves shooting walls)etc. Defenses defend.. Protect them. This also makes the cc actually easy to lure.. Just put a giant and a couple of wbs... They will also alert the cc, break 2nd compartment.walling your defenses should probably fix it.

I've been using the variation 1.0 for a week already and I'm a high-middle-tier TH8.

The only time i get owned is when mature TH9'ers attack me, also, this base is prone to any attacks using minions which what fellow TH8'ers use against me.

So far my experience with this base is generally ok, but i have been upgrading my defenses so i didnt really have an instance where all defenses were online and zapping enemy units.
