[HIMB] Town Hall 8 Farming :: Looking for Feedback

At the moment I really don't want to make a thread about this base design; I do in fact want to improve the design. Overall I think it looks solid, but I'd like some help from you higher level, more experienced (see what I did there?) players.

Here is the base, no name yet.

Just thought I'd like to list some pros and cons that I can see off the bat.

Pros:
- Triangulated Mortars, Wizard Towers, and Air Defences.
- Central CC.
- Semi-Seperated storages.
- Protected Mines. (In case of slight inactivity.)
Cons:
- Some bad wall junctions. (Can fix and will fix.)
- Two Storages unprotected by Wizard Towers.
- Meh funneling.
- Wasted walls. (Will use when doing change said earlier.)
- Mortar, Air Defence, and Wizard Towers are biased to a side of the base.
- Funneling can be easily broken.
- Not totally symmetrical.
- Biggish compartments

As. I said earlier I need some feedback / criticism, even if you have something that isn't particularly good to say about the base please tell me. Thanks!

This one really looks like one I made. It's a nice base, the core works good. And the giants get taken down fast.

Thanks. ;);)

Could you show the cc radius? And use walls to close off here: (im working on the pic)

CC radius coming in a minute; if I put the walls there where would I place my spring traps?
EDIT: CC radius. http://i.imgur.com/4kJFuyw.jpg

By other tips? Or criticism?

I have taken this base and have modified it a bit. I will test it out for a bit before sharing how it works out.

A very common mistake is to have a 3x3/4x4 core that only defends the clan castle. This leaves your dark elixir storage exposed and prevents you from having a centered Barb King. When I was TH8, I used a 6x6 core which contained the Barb King, Dark Elixir Storage, Clan Castle and my DE drill. Though the clan castle is not perfectly centered, it was still unlureable without destroying a defense and my DE was better protected. Unless you don't play in sessions, a centered Barbarian King protects your storages relatively well.

I have used I think a modified trapception with the BK in the core. In theory, it is nice having him tank on defense near or in your core, but in practice it can sometimes be lethal. Remember, troops that will target him will get through walls to reach him. Numerous times I have had a mob of archers and barbarians breach my core because of my king. In seconds he is dead and then what? The enemy troops are in your core! I suggest having your BK behind walls, but not in a core... at least from my own experience.
