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.

The Barb King should wander outside the core as he does not have ranged attacks. This prevents Barbarians and Archers from targeting the core. It would be a different story with the Archer Queen. Besides, there are nothing else of worth besides maybe a Gold Storage to fill in the core as a Defense in the same compartment as your Dark Elixir allows the attacker an easier time of breaking the core with OP lvl 6 Giants.

I really like your CC Radius. It looks like a solid base but your gold storages are too close to the core. A well planned Barch/GHealer with AQ+Wizzies could take all your gold storages.

Nice, that would be great!

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 tried larger cores, and though you may think they're better I enjoy having the 3x3 CC core.

On sessions: I don't really have the time to play Clash Of Clans for an extended time, nor do I really want to. I attack once every 20-30 minutes being offline until I come back. I have had my Barbarian King always sleeping, and it most likely always will be for that reason.

Thanks, I was thinking a level 6 giant healer may be able to take the base, but wouldn't the seperated air defences protect against that? I don't use Giant / Healer, so I'm unsure.

During my TH8, I have seen bases like the one u've created. Big compartments with 4 buildings - 2 storages, 1 wiz, 1 air def.

The problem with such bases is that even though it appears seemingly segrated, it is in fact, very easy to reach. Reason why is because the compartments are too big; albeit the lack of sufficient walls to stop WBs, ie. 1-2 waves of WB is enough to crack the egg and the goodies can easily be reached.

Seeing how u've placed the compartments, a strong loonian attack from the west would most surely guarantee all 3 gold storages. If you want to maintain the compartments, you've got to segregate them more (i would suggest a triangulated formation- one compartment top, 2 more on the southeast/southwest ends. That way, its more challenging to reach all 3 of them.

Also, there isn't really a high emphasis on collector protection (with the exception of DE drill), so i would take those walls covering the collectors to create more layers for your compartments.

And like you've already said, the funneling needs work. :P don't be afraid to open up at junctions u're confident will attract giants. Just make sure that your springs can't be triggered by lone giants prematurely.

Other than the above, ur triangulated and point defenses look good. :D

The mindset when building this base was to prevent as many big loot losses as I can; with that in mind I attempted to space out the storages so attacks would either have to completely destroy my whole core -and most likely base for that matter- to be able to take all the loot. With the one real attack that was done he / she giant healered into the right side of my base, and the level 6 giants split some going into the top right compartment, some going into the wizard tower compartment. Healer was quickly taken down and the attacker used a heal spell on each group of giants, they then deployed their barbs and archers along with a rage spell to take out the dark elixir storage and the elixir storage.

Never been attacked by Loons, so I'm not too worried about that.

As you've said before "the compartments are too big", with that in mind I had extra walls so I protected my collectors. Large flaw in the base.
And like you've already said, the funneling needs work. :P don't be afraid to open up at junctions u're confident will attract giants. Just make sure that your springs can't be triggered by lone giants prematurely.
The problem is that I almost never get fully attacked so it's hard for me to test the funneling, I have a clanmate who is a fresh town hall 8 also trying out the base, he had a modified base before, and the tesla / double spring trap worked. He's now using the exact same design, he might be able to get some logs to help the funneling in this base.
Other than the above, ur triangulated and point defenses look good. :D

Yup your logic makes sense. In order for them to reach all 3 gold storages, they would most certainly have to bash through into the core. Else if they on the outside, not likely all 3 will be breached. Perhaps 1.5-2 goldies might be looted.

More attacks would be needed to test the outcome of your base. :D gd luck!

I want to thank you for taking the time to reply, it means a lot. Forgot to thank everyone earlier. :)

Base probably isn't even really focused for what I should be focused on, but I don't have have my priorities straight. I almost always have 0 gold, yet I have that resources protected the most, mainly just a base that. I made for fun.
