Tired of getting my @-- kicked

If this is the wrong spot, forgive me. If substitutions for profanity are not allowed, forgive me. But I like (really like) CoC, and it's almost getting where it's no longer as much fun as it once was.

My TH is a mid level 8, I've got all lvl7 walls, and most of my cannons are lvl 10. But I can't find a good balance between getting enough loot to get to the next big ticket items, and getting raided for all of my loot. So, I see one of two things: my base design sucks, and I can't raid for s-- t. (I usually get 100k of each per raid. )

so, any advice? I'm trying to figure out how to attach a pic, so if it doesn't work, I'll try in the next post.

Thanks,
B

what league are you in? and what lv troops do you got?
do you only go for collector raid or go for storage too?

For one, get a better base.
The Oski or Dark Defendum works.

Also, to attach a pic, (I'm gonna use imgur as an example) you upload it, get the link, and put it in like this.
[IMG]http://www.i.imgur.com/whatever .jpg[IMG /]
There's a space before .jpg, after "whatever."
Remove it.
There's another space before /] but after [IMG.
Remove it.
(NOTE: The ".jpg" thing is different depending on your photo.
If you're uploading from an iDevice, it should be jpg.
If you're uploading from your computer or something, you need to find out the photo file type and replace jpg with whatever your photo file type is.
It might be the same, it might not.)

Try using Barch (Barbarians and archers), March (Minions and archers), or BAM (Barbarians, archers, and minions).
They're all good strategies.
Stay around 1400 trophies because the loot's pretty good there right now, I think.

If u can't beat them join them. I say u should farm and get a farming base.

Sorry, right now I'm in gold 3. Most of my troops are lvl 5, with the PEEKA and dragon at a 2 or so.

ill go for either. I always try to get at least a star, but I'll go for collectors only if they are all full and I can get them cheap. I normally don't go trophy hunting, but I don't want them to go to low....I'm around 1440.

first... th8s have it rough... very easily farmed by TH9s....

second... keep your TH outside on the corner... put some flags around it so ppl know u don't have it trapped if you have to... you want shields... where you have it currently is silly....

third .... keep your storages as far away from each other as possible.... there is nothing preventing any TH9 with lvl 6 giants getting to all of your storages.... if they have to attack multiple sides to get to it it makes it harder.. and that's all you're trying to do...

Also, 100k should be your minimum for loot.
It's decent.
Don't put your townhall inside your base while farming.
You can get free shields to protect your loot when you're offline and someone hits your free townhall.
Also, try putting it away from the base.
The reason is, (quote from Sparhawk's guide to pushing) "Also townhalls just outside of your base and within range of your defenses (aka partially exposed townhall) should be avoided as your rival will deploy more troops to take out your townhall and since they are already at your doorstep they might as well go in for the rest." -Sparhawk
(Lol)

Yes! I normally use 8WBs, 55 gobs, 55 barbs, and the rest archers. (200 army camp space) I'm trying to save my DE, so I'm not using any DE troops.

I'll check out the bases you mentioned.

Thanks

If you see absolutely no loot for a few days, try moving up or down and try to "follow the loot."

You're at a good trophy level for TH8 farming. Just put your townhall out.

Bad base. Storage are only one wall removed from exterior walls. Motar is exposed, wizard tower is exposed. No interior giant bomb (so no deterrent against mass barb/archer army). Use a different base.

You might wanna do some searching yourself because these bases work but are pretty popular so if some guy that knows how to attack these bases really well comes along, you're screwed.

that is strange, i am having no problems with loot in gold3 and i am th8 too.

you can not help with the th9 knocking at your base, but as you max out your def their visit will be less frequent. just hang in there.

I wouldn't say your base is bad but it won't protect your resources as much as your defence levels can.

Pick a good base for yourself.

As already pointed before, 100K should be your minimum loot incentive. I usually target 200K min when loots are abundant and 150K when they are scarce.

Try using Barch/Bam and look out for inactives.

Your base needs to be reworked big time. The only way to have a chance at stopping a TH9 attack with level six giants is by using funneling, which your base has none of. I am using dark defendum too, and it has worked very well for me. I also second moving your town hall outside, I get sniped all the time (even while have full storages) and you may lose 8 to 10 trophies at the very most. You get a 12 hour shield and you can make those trophies back in one raid usually. Also, I farm in Silver 1 and have found plenty of good collector raids and plenty of juicy TH7 storage raids.

You wouldn't even need giants to take his loot. Barch would work fine.

Simulated Swearing Will Be Treated As Actual Swearing

Just to be perfectly clear:

We do not accept inappropriate language of any kind on this forum. That means simulated swearing will earn you the same infractions as actually swearing. Adding in some wing-dings, asterisks, etc. are not an acceptable way to skirt the rules.

For example, calling a fellow forumer a F**** B***** will earn you the same infraction as calling them a Fluffy Bunny.

All simulated swearing will receive an infraction, no questions asked.

Look up "Clash of Clans town hall 8 farming base" and get a better base. For attacks use Barch or BAM. Look up stategies for those. ALso for the base design, they clan castle is in the middle. KEEP IT IN THE MIDDLE, DONT move it as it's the most important defense.

well..as a th 8...there almost nothing you can do with your base to stop a giant 6... so the best next thing to do..is to discourage them from coming in the first place. first rule....NEVER have gold/elix more then 1 mill for more than an hour log off...in fact...you should never log off with that kind of resource...so you have to time your upgrade..and do long 2 hours session with recommend 1 rax boost to speed up and do upgrade and log off after that. you should be able to get atleast 1,5-2 mill gold with BARCH for 2 hours session.
other its the same, get better design, get your th outside..etc.... goodluck bro...im going to TH 9 tomorrow..soo bye2 th 8..:o...nice to be here for a month...lol....

Do a search for town hall 8 farming bases. Also barch is your friend it's fast to train and works well for quick raiding. Th8 is a loot paradise as long as you put in a little work.

this why everybody complain on little loot. :D

Your storages are adjacent to each other and wizard towers aren't helping (must protect 1 gold and 1 elixir storage). BARCH would easily take your loots.
