Your Loss, its actually a really nice informative video for new and intermediate players. The only thing I would elaborate on is having external buildings not flush against walls. Its ok for resource protection as it pushes their deployment further back or makes them waste time picking the buildings off, for cup protection its an easy 50% victory as u can pick buildings off with 1-2 archers that aren't in defensive buildings attack circles, so before they even start bombing their army on you, you could already be at 20 - 30%. +. I think if you have aoe bomb zones outside your base walls its better to have your externals flush to keep troops in defence circles, even if they can deploy closer. Good job OP.

Yes it is a premature th9. But many people have made this mistake so my videos actually show people who upgraded prematurely how to be successful with it.

And for viewers who upgraded correctly, they can't still learn from the guides.

new player just upgraded to TH 5. Critique my defense please. I would put a wizard tower in the middle once I have enough gold.

Please someone comment whether I should go with above layout or the new one. I'm a new player and would really appreciate your feedback. My shield is done in a day or so and I don't want to be completely over run everytime I'm attacked. I'm going to place a wizard tower below the mortar once I can build it.

Volf - I'd go with the top base. Double walls are just as vulnerable to Breakers as single (they do a 3x3 square attack) so you're just wasting walls there. Also in #2, your base is all in one compartment so by breaking one level of walls, the entire base is open.

The first base could be improved by swapping the bombs out and putting collectors inside instead, as the bombs won't do too much damage really. Scatter them around the outside, below your defences so you'll get some enemy troops dropped to low health for the cannons/archers to pick off. I'd also swap the air defence out for either a gold or elixir storage (if you value gold more, go 2x gold in the middle, otherwise go 1/1) as you won't see much at all in the way of air attacks until late TH6/early TH7.

How about this new layout. Does it fair better defensively? I like this better than the other 2.

Sorry for the late response. This was one of my much older videos ;)

Base looks good. Start working on the achievements to get free gems for your additional workers. They'll help you start building multiple things simultaneously quickly.
