TH8 Farming Base Re-design with 4 Mortars and Skeleton Traps

Hey guys. I tried to come up with a decent (and intimidating) farming base for the new update. This is what I came up with so far.

All Storages are located centrally as well as the four mortars and three air defenses. Both the air defenses and mortars provide 95% base coverage. Outside the center are the wizard towers that create a funnel-like effect for giants allowing your cannons/archer towers and mortars to dispose of giants. I placed the skeleton traps near the top with a giant bomb for those looking to avoid the easy trophy gain and actually go for the resources. There isn't a lot of wall coverage for the north portion of the base design, as to make it seem like it would be an easy way to gain 50% plus resources, but because of the wall placement and cannons/archer towers, it too creates a funnel effect.

I also have the base spread out (to make it appear larger than it really is). This is for two reasons. Intimidation and Hog Rider defense. A larger, more spread out base will make it harder for hogs to just quickly come in and start destroying my defenses quickly and efficiently and gives my mortars enough time to take care of them.

I haven't had many attacks to claim this is fully tested, but I will try to keep posting the results of the attacks as I go. So far, except one attack, most people just go for the TH and end the battle. That one attack, I barely lost any resources (the DE was due to being boosted and at work...didn't have a chance to collect the drill).

Feel free to use this design and share your results. But please don't come to complain about how ineffective the base is if you rushed and your defenses/walls aren't up to par.

All storages within one set of walls? Yikes. Your revenges are going to SUCK.

Like I mentioned above. There hasn't been a lot of testing for this base since the update just happened, but I have not had any bad experiences with this design. If I get a revenge that "sucks" than I will post it here and let everyone know. My aim was to create an aesthetically pleasing and effective farming base and through my experience...I have accomplished that until someone is able to prove me wrong through attacks.

although the storages are centrally located, the wall breakers are gonna break down the outer wall(closed one) and archers, barbs and goblins gonna flood in. but, of course, the giants are gonna get tossed by the traps if you send them in first to tank for the wbs. its not good overall...if I ever come across this base as an attacker and provided it has more elixir to cover my training costs, I dont think I'm gonna press next. kudos for working up one though...its not so easy.

I liked the base design when I first saw it. However I did not like how easy it can be wiped if you take care of the outside/unprotected defensive buildings. A few WBs on the outside walling system followed by Giants, Healers and Wizzards are a sure way to beat that base.

I took the liberty (pardon if it looks as though I'm sabotaging your thread) to re-arrange some walls and defensive buildings to provide better coverage.

Here's how I would personally use this design:

Attachment 78616

1 - Use traps by the upper/outter cannons to lure the attacker to think he's got an easy access with Giants. If the attacker does end up using giants for those cannos, they're as good as gone.
2 - Bring the upper Tesla INSIDE the walls and cover with the Lab (high HP building), this will give that Tesla a better chance at wiping troops without getting destroyed too fast.
3 - Protect the same Tesla with the new skeleton troops as an extra add-on.
4 - Re-arrange Wiz Towers to be FIRST and foremost walled (protects from Barbs) and secondly, bring them tightly closed to 2x Resource Buildings and 2x Defense buildings for extra protection. Check the coverage area:

Attachment 78619

5 - Lower Wiz Tower: This one is being protected by both CC and King, while all 3 of these provide tigher protection to the Core.
6 -Barracks location: Enemies usually try to wipe out barracks early on with ranged Archers. Giant Bombs in this location will easily wipe out a group of Archers making a move towards the next group of buildings once they've taken care of the barracks.
7 - Air Balloons are evenly spread out from top to bottom.
8 - Bottom Teslas provide Barracks protection and are well covered with traps and bombs.

I will use this base for a week a provide better feedback then. Thanks OP for the initial design!

Absolutely horrendous. All your storages in one massive core, useless wizard towers, poor trap placement, only two layers of walls to breach the core, easy to 50%, CC and BK OUTSIDE (why?), and the list goes on.

Although you've brought up valid points regarding this base, you sure are rude in the way you bring them to light. Not that you need to sugar coat anything, but you certainly don't have to be so darn rude.

Personally, I think the base looks great! I mean you clearly mentioned you were going for something somewhat intimidating looking and at the same time aesthetically pleasing and I think you did a great job! The layout is clean and really cool looking! Me likey!

That being said, there ultimately are layouts that will be even stronger in protecting those valuable resources and I'm willing to bet you will create more cool bases that will likely protect things even better than what you already have here. Keep up the good work sir!

I dont like the idea of having a vault base . . .
