Base design questions

I think I expect too much from a base because I'm constantly disappointed with whatever design I use.

1. With a decent farming attack, how many storages would you expect to lose, on average?

2. Are labyrinth bases useless? A few wall breakers & they are ruined or there is nothing to slow down the second wave of troops getting to the storages.

3. Ring bases are also easily broken by wall breakers & a spread out attack. Do they really work now that they are so well known?

4. Are vault type bases due a come back? Storages are as far away from point of attack as possible with maybe a two layer ring defence around it?

for one, labyrinths are not useless, i advise you to start looking at the whole thread and all the logs... and you my friend must find out for yourself the others...oh and vaults are due for a comeback :3(wink wink nudge nudge)

Honestly, good players are still going to be able to farm you dry no matter what base you use. For me I use a ring base and try to keep resources low by dumping them into walls. On an average day I lose about 2-4 storages, bad days I lose all.

I wouldn't expect to get any decent farming attacks, as it would take a serious attack to get any significant number of my storages. But then these days people seem to call anything farming, no matter how slow and expensive the army is to cook.

I consider labyrinth bases useless as I am a barcher, and those bases are not effective against barchers. I always bring wall breakers with me though, so even if I wasn't barching I'd just blast my way through the intended funneling and go where I wanted.

Ring bases will do well against people who don't know how to attack them, they will lose a lot otherwise. I wouldn't use one outside of clan wars.

As far as vault bases go, I think it's always a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket. There's always someone who can crack your base, might as well limit your losses.

Well you would say that wouldn't you! They are certainly not all they're hyped up to be.

I've just made a vault double ring base, unfortunately the outside ring seems to be too weak to draw troops round it.

Thanks for not helping with the other questions, much appreciated.
