★ [NEW] TH9: Anti Hog/Giant Farming Base ★

Hello,

I'm not really a known or experienced base designer, in fact this is my first base I have made. Although, I do have experience in the game and I used my knowledge to design this base. I have not tested this base out so it may need some minor tweaks. Feel free to test it out for me. Also, any suggestions would help greatly!

The Traps:

Pros:

- Features an Anti Hog/Giant ring.
- Storages are separated
- Good Wizard Tower and Trap placement.
- Good funneling for Giants/Hogs.
- Six possible Giant Bomb locations to keep attackers guessing.
- It's plain out sexy.

Cons:

- Weak to air attacks.
- CC is lureable ONLY with a Hog or Giant.
- Not tested. *hint*



Notes:

- I strategically placed to BK to tank for the DE, if they decide to break into the core the AQ will join in and the troops will get pulled in across the whole core leaving them far from the DE and a happy Wizard Tower to decimate them.

- Each Wizard Tower is covering besides one other due to a gold storage being in the core.

- Every spring trap is positioned so the Hogs/Giants must run into them.

- The Giant Bombs are placed near Wizard Towers so it can take only one GB to kill a horde of hogs, therefore providing a more efficient way of killing hogs.

- Seeking Air Mines are placed near Air Defenses to stop Giant/Healer. Air Bombs are placed near storages to stop mass Minions.

- Spread out storages, they basically have to 100% you to take all of your resources.

UPDATE LOG:

✔ Fixed Ring

✔ Added Double Giant Bombs.

✔ Added more spots where Double Giant Bombs could be.

✔ Version 2 added w/ better Air Def placement.

Looks pretty good to me.

I would expect an experienced dragloonian/balloonian would smash this so it will be interesting to see more of those attax.

New defense log added.

The core seems easely reachable by hogs once the wizard tower is destroyed. Isn't it too much close to the mortar?

It is still in testing, Giants are fine and I hope hogs would run into the Giant Bombs before the reach the Wizard Tower.

Another thing: a single GB plus 2 bombs aren't enough to kill them. A smart attacker (or just a not stupid one) could release 1 hog to explore the gound and trigger the tesla. Now, since in the 3x2 left spot 2 GBs can't fit into, he could drop a healing there and release then a mass of hogs.

Not gonna lie, this just looks like any anti hog out there. There is nothing unique about it. Thats just my opinion.

Wizard Tower & Giant Bomb problems fixed. New picture in post.

eh sorta, but you can't get rid of the feeling of the ''omg i just made my first base and first actual post excitement.''

Looks good! I like the funneling but really dont like the AD placement, an air attack could possibly own this base. Overall pretty good :)

need to add more then 2 spots for hogs. any experienced hogger will be able to trigger those before attacking

I've been trying to do that but this base is so crammed. Any suggestions on what to move without redesigning the whole base?

More locations where double Giant Bombs can be has been added.

Trust me, I hate it too. I don't want to fix anything up in the core because I like it the way it is. Pretty weird how I won an attack vs L6 Loons & L5 Minions with a farming base. :cool:

I added some more, but they are still quite obvious to figure out, huh?:(

Considering Balloonian is a popular farming technique, you shouldn't neglect defense against air troops

True, BUT I think LV6 Giants are more of a pain/used attack strategy in Gold 1 so I made a base dedicated to that since i never get attacked by air troops. You can always do some adjusting with the Archer Queen and Gold Storage to fit some Air Defenses in.

Despite what you said, it's weak to air.

Version Two added w/ better Air Def placement.
