4 Peaks - A TH7 Farming Base

4 Peaks – A TH7 Farming Base (v1.02)

The 4 peaks is a TH7 farming base I have designed to try to not only house the most important features of a base (i.e. Clan Castle and Hero) in the centre, but also to protect as many storages as possible, with a focus on Dark Elixir, while maintaining a number of key basics that each base should have, such as the placement of Splash Defences and the protection of Air Defences etc.

Base Overview:

I am also currently upgrading my Air Defense so I have reshuffled my base to help keep as much Air Defense coverage as possible.

Features at a glance:
- Each Storage has it’s own compartment
- Centralised Clan Castle
- Centralised Hero (With the new update, all bases should strive for this)
- Dark Elixir behind 3 layers of wall (on 2 sides)
- Triangulated Mortars
- Air Defences & Wizard Towers protected
- Funneling trap system on the “weakest side”

Explanations:
As you can see from the picture the base excels at a number of different aspects. As firstly mentioned, the Clan Castle and ever important Hero have been centralised as much as possible to making luring harder. Unfortunately the Clan Castle is not quite Lure Proof, but it is in such a position that would still make it a tough job. With the new update the Hero simply will not budge unless that first wall is breached on the North/South East side.

The base’s Mortars are perfectly triangulated to ensure maximum coverage of the base. You should also notice that each Storage is covered by a minimum of two mortars at any one time, great for Goblin Rushes.

The Wizard Towers and Air Defences have been placed at opposite sides for maximum coverage and although only placed behind 1 layer of wall, they each have 2 point defences taking the first hits and all 4 have some cover from the Mortars.

2 of the Storages are behind at least 2 layers of walls while the “exposed” ones with one wall of protection should find the majority of threats being sent through the trap system, to the North of the base.

Point defences are evenly spread around the base ensuring maximum DPS and effective area of attack.

The base is also editable to suit your needs. For example if you are not focusing on Dark Elixir, consider swapping it out for another of the Storages such as Gold.

Weaknesses:

Due to a lack of point defences, you will notice that one of the compartments housing 1 of my Elixir Storages has only a Gold Mine for protection in it’s cell. I have tried to make up for this by placing the trap system on the neighbouring side to help take some pressure off and by having 2 Mortars within perfect range and the third just about reaching it for any Goblins that surround it.

Secondary walls form improper junctions, doubt this is a huge issue for concern as they only need to protect one side.

I’m sure more will follow!

Thoughts and comments are appreciated and my apologies if this base resembles another out there. I design my own bases and don’t tend to look online for ideas; if this has “been done before” please link me to the original designer and I will give credit where credit is due.
Many thanks for reading.

tbh i dont really like the trap sections on top , but might be work on some occasions. but overall it's still a good base, Splash defenses will do their job greatly imo. some defense logs may give you more clues where's the flaw of your base. ;)

I like this, i might have a try later on.

It's relatively easy to spot out the locations of the traps because no one leaves n empty gap before a funnel unless its trap. It can be done by clearing the surrounding structures and placing a single barb. There goes your 20k gold fo re arming the traps for a meagre barbarian

Where are the logs? Never post a base design without a video of a attack or logs...... And those x junctions on all four sides are just bad.

The trap section is more of a double bluff, it covers the Northern Side as it has one less wall than the South, this is remedied by the traps, standing out infact, as if to say to go through here you need to go through us.

As mentioned above, this was intentional to show the weakest side is not as weak as it looks. I dont want that side attacked so the traps help ensure they attack the bottom cos if you know they are there, why would you set them off?

Thanks for the comments.

great job man!!

I didn't like the traps, it is so easy to set it all off with just 1 giant.
I liked the way that AD is put, even tought that in TH 7 there is no way to protect against air atacks
I also think that this base is very weak against baloons and minions atack, because the AD is exposed, you can just drop half ballons and half minions on each side

Fair enough, as mentioned above my plan was to have the traps in an obvioud place so as to deter people from attacking my weaker side.

The Air defenses are a little more exposed than I'd like but I dont encounter a lot of minions or balloons in my troohy range (1200 - 1400) they just need tl be able to take out healers which they manage to do ok at the moment.

Thanks for the comment!

Not a fan of those four X-junctions, need to stagger them and turn them into T-junctions. Your mines are collectors are grouped up and allow goblins to take them out relatively easily, which defeats the purpose of mixing them around and making them run in a circle. Pointless Builder Huts on corners- if you're farming, why would you care about losing a raid? Even if you do for some reason care about trophies attackers can get that extra few percentage to win the battle. I like the segmented storages. Bad placement of grouped traps, minimal funnelling used. Defense Logs? Overall, a pretty good base but needs a few major improvements for it to work to its full potential. Better designed than most bases I've seen, but then again I've also seen better :p Well done!
