Gold Storage Protection TH9 - Highly Symmetrical

Hey,

I just finished designing this base today. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

It met a lot of conditions:

1. High defense for Gold Storages.
2. At least two walls between Gold Storages.
3. Mortar triangulation. (partial success)
4. Air defense that is not easy to get to.
5. King and Queen in the center, so they can't be drawn out.
6. Dark Elixir and Clan Castle in the center.
7. Wizard Tower placement that protects gold storages and forms a square.
8. Dual Teslas that cover gold storage.
9. Xbow placement that is symmetrical and not easy to reach.

Flaws:

1. There are only two walls near the North and South Wizard Towers instead of the three walls on the East and West towers. This makes reaching the center a bit easier.
2. There is one defense missing on the South compartment where I put a Dark Elixir Drill.
3. The Mortar triangulation is decent, but not the best.

Overall I'm pretty happy though and I can't wait to test it out. The regular elixir is exposed, but I don't really care I run a surplus usually, and if they steal it first then it just means less gold that gets stolen.

Please tell me what you think!

UPDATE:

Here is a variation with the mortars in the center, and the king/queen a bit further out.

Per a suggestion below, I moved the wizard towers and swapped them with the xbows and heroes. It does seem to work better this way. The towers can punish lane pushers (lol is this dota) and pummel gold stealers.

Overall this may not be the best base, but it's certainly not a bad base. I don't care much about elixir storages. I can also move traps around to experiment with what works best.

Looks really solid. I really like the compartmentalized storages and the symmetrical core. Is the clan castle lure-able?

If you want to switch it up a little, maybe swap the cc with the center mortar, and swap the heroes with the other two mortars. Not sure if it is an improvement, but it triangulates the mortars a little better, and evens the gold protection more. The heroes would still be pretty deep and not easy to get out.

Overall nice base, I might give it a shot when I need a farming base.

It looks like an excellent layout to defend against the normal giant/healer attacks. However its a bit weak to hogs. No double gbs or a hog ring. Love the symmetry though. Test it out and post so defenses, would like to see how it holds up.

Good suggestions I'll give it a shot. I'm not sure about the clan castle, but once I upgrade from TH8 to TH9 I can test it out.

Yeah, part of my problem is I don't have much experience getting attacked by hogs. Honestly, 90% of the time I get attacked by giants, or maybe an army of wizards.

Once I test it out I'll know if it's any good. Dual Teslas could nail hogs? No idea...

The clan castle doesn't look lurable unless they hit a bomb trap but they are "inside" at that point (more or less).

CC not centralized, symmetry not optimal, wizard coverage is lacking.
Now that the negatives are out of the way this is a decent base, lots of potential places for traps. Elixir should no longer be that unprotected but it's not necessarily a flaw

Hey check my updates I put the CC dead center. How do you see the wizard coverage lacking? How could it be improved?

Thanks

The updated versions have better CC, that's great.

The WT's don't really reach Gold storages, Archers could be shooting over the walls undisturbed and the Wizzie won't be able to anything. Switch heroes and Bows to where Wizzies are now and vice versa to make the base a real killer
