Post-Update TH9 Farming Base

Hi guys & gals, I've been lurking for long enough so I figured I'd make my first "please tear my base apart" thread.

I. Inspiration:

Although the design is original in the sense that I made it from scratch, I would not have been able to do it without the help of numerous Forum regulars and their awesome base design threads (a few that come to mind - Hannibal's TH9 Farm Base; Peabak's Anti-Hog; Cloudwhiskey's TH9 Farm Base - and the list goes on, so I'm sorry for not naming everyone).

With the new update in mind, I set out to create a base that features semi-centralized Heroes, while still managing to keep bits and pieces from other successful pre-update TH9 bases - especially some of the anti-hog strategies (double giant bombs & lots of gaps to keep the hoggers guessing). Mainly .. I wanted a base that protected both DE & Gold (I'm trying to farm for walls, so the Gold storages can be swapped with Elixir storages, it's personal preference). Again, I'm not claiming that this design is my brainchild, but that I have simply taken what others have done before me and attempted to tweak for the update.

II. Defensive Logs:

This section will be updated as soon as I have logs other than TH snipes. I will be moving up to Crystal 3-1 in order to get more useful/realistic replays. And I apologize in advance for breaking the cardinal base-design thread rule -> don't post these threads without logs.

III. Base:

Attachment 50561

With CC radius:
Attachment 50562


IV. Thoughts:

I'm not claiming that this base is great or anything, but I haven't seen many (if any?) post-update base design threads.. Just trying to get the ball rolling, folks. Any and all constructive criticism/feedback/concerns are greatly encouraged and appreciated. Maybe even insults, but they better be creative.

UPDATED VERSION: 1.1

-made some changes in order to fix the spacing issues that people have mentioned. i realize that my gold storages are exposed.. that's intentional. i've maxed my defenses and spend my gold as soon as i have enough to upgrade a wall, so there's no point in protecting such a little amount of gold. i am mainly concerned with protecting my dark elixir, and then my elixir. the storages can be swapped around, it's personal preference.http://i62.tinypic.com/1z2q6i8.jpg

No thoughts? I apologize again for the lack of defensive logs.. working my way up to Crystal and have only been TH sniped so far... which I guess isn't a bad thing :cool:

Good solid base....only comment....not enough empty spaces to make raiders think may times (where the bombs are) before raiding you.

And it looks too small....4 spells of anything will cover your whole base

Your CC coverage shows the CC troops are easily lureable.

My advice, the outer defense should be at the borderline on the CC coverage. Hogs still rulez even though with the new updates. And not many ppl are taking advantage of the Valks and Jump spells yet

thanks for the feedback :]

any ideas on how to fix the spacing while keeping a similar layout? maybe move the outer compartments out a space or two?

EDIT: and yes i was a little worried about my GB placement, just didn't have too many open options to make people guess. but there are a few spots (like where the teslas are at the top) where the bombs could be, just wouldn't take too long/be too hard to sniff them out..

Since this is a post-update base, it really doesn't make sense as it looks weak to jump from the corners.

while i agree with what you're saying, it's impossible to make an "anti-EVERYTHING" base. take Anti-Hog bases, for example... they are weak to air attacks.

i was more concerned with having a centralized CC & heroes, while still keeping the double GB feature of an Anti-Hog base since i'm a lowly th9 haha.

thank you though, i will try and see if i can do anything about that. it goes to what the previous poster said about my spacing.. if you have any suggestions, i'm ready!

:)

EDIT: have moved this post up to the top of the thread for easier viewing.

Your base is a farming base, but your gold storages are easy, easy picking. Definitely not good. Your first version was much better.

thanks, but as i have maxed out my defenses and only have 17 skulls left to upgrade gold really isn't my priority. i'm focusing on protecting my dark elixir, and then my elixir.

but, the elixir storages can be swapped out with the gold.. personal preference. i do appreciate the feedback though, keep it coming!!!

i moved the modified version up to the top of the thread for easier viewing, please keep the feedback coming! and like i said, almost all of my defensive logs (i'd say more than 90%) have been TH snipes. i think that this is mostly due to the fact that i intentionally keep my gold and elixir storages as low as possible while still leaving enough resources to train an army, with the hope that it's not worth it to go for an "all out" attack on my base.

I like the base but the heroes could be a little more centralised imo

haha i totally agree, any thoughts on an easy fix to this?


with the current version i tried to get them as close to the core as possible, so they'll be covered (or at least should be) by both x-bows and a majority of the other defenses. i wouldn't mind cramming them into the center though.

should i try to expand the core from 2x2 to something else?


thanks in advance

Ok, i know this thread is two months old, and I shouldn't really be doing this...but this base looks like quite a gem....so bump:cool:

You shouldn't expose the mortars like that at TH9. It's a different story when you're at TH10 and have inferno towers to pick up the slack. I would not use this base for anything.
