[The Dunphy] TH8 Farming Base

This is still a work in progress. I am more than open to constructive criticism.

I am still a fairly new TH8. I am fairly certain that as my defenses get upgraded, this base will just get better. I just have not had a lot of attacks to test it with.

I don't have a lot of words to put here. Instead, here are some pictures. For those using FireFox, if you want a little better resolution on the pictures, right click on one and select 'View Picture'.

This is the base, overall:

The Town Hall is in the very southern corner.

Not unlurable, but sort of hard to lure.

This one has the most serious attack:

As you can see, I don't get attacked a lot, but when I do, I usually do fairly well.

If anyone spots any improvements that can be made please, let me know. Thank you for taking the time to look.

I feel your mortars are too exposed and don't have enough triangulation.

Thanks.

I kind of thought about switching them out with the storages, but then they would not cover any of the edges.

See anywhere better to put them?

I like the tesla trap! Base looks great.

At first glance.....with the storages :D

you really don't want 4 storages in one compartment anyways

I think I will try swapping them after I get my next upgrades up and running. If you are interested, I'll keep you posted.

Hey Snarg,

I kinda like your base, looks solid. I have just one question: where's the third gold and elexir storages? :)

Thanks, glad you like it :)

From what I understand, at TH8 there are no upgrades that cost more than what two gold/lix storages can contain. If I build two more, that is two more storages I have to protect. If I don't need 'em, I won't build 'em :)

Did you also notice that I don't have a DE drill? Same theory. I get all my DE from raiding so, if I don't need the drill I won't build it.

Good point, although when u have three storages you can diversify resources thus minimizing losses when attacked. Also the sooner u have your de drill maxed, the more de you'll drill :) Either way, good luck and good loot! ;)

Like ur base,but i have a question.Im new to the forums so how do u get pics in ur posts

Giants may set off the two giant bombs at the top of the base which is a no-go. Someone could drop two giants on both of the top corners to check for traps. You could try to find a way to place the giant bombs inside the walls. I think the big booms are best used in front of a storage to annihilate any horde of troops that can waddling in behind a few wall breakers.

Thank you for all the replies so far.

I know that with more storages the attacker can potentially gain less loot however, as I pointed out, that is more storages to protect. When I hit TH9 I will build the other two.

I don't know what device you are using, but what you want to do is take a screenshot on it, then upload it to imgur.com. Once you upload it, it will give you a link that looks something like this, but without the spaces:

Copy and paste that link into your post.

For whatever reason, and I am guessing it is just human nature, the vast majority of the attackers attack from the south side. I only have three teslas so I can only protect three corners. The north corner has the three giant bombs, four point defense structures and splash damage. Also, for what little he is worth, the king is up there.

There is no room within the walls for the giant bombs but I am looking into maybe adding some kind of funneling.

Level 6 giants have been eating my lunch, so I made a few changes. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

The only reason u loosing attacks, is because your Town Hall is exposed. Put it dead center and you will be okay

There i fixed it. You're welcome.

That would make for a terrible farming base. No thank you.
