My TH9 war base design - help me improve

I was too lazy to put the extra buildings in, but they will be spread around in an intelligent way ;)

I like it b/c there are ten interior possibilities for double giant bombs. Surely this will frighten hoggers away. Do you think the ads are protected enough to deter lvl4 dragon attacks with my xbows down? I know I can't totally shut golem based attacks down, but will this at least make life difficult for them? Anything else I am vulnerable against? I haven't tried it out yet.

I am 42 years old, don't worry about my feelings ;)

I Dont See Any Weakness In Your Base! Well Rounded.
I May Be Wrong. But,I Would Skip You.

your walls are very weak. KIDDING! haha. nice base well done. nice base overall aside from the easy lure CC. xbows should be ground/air IMO

Looks pretty good, not sure about you're traps and bombs though, kind of putting all your eggs in one basket.

Easy cc lure, and I would easily 3 star that with hogs. As you mentioned, the biggest danger to hogs is double giant bombs, especially when near wiz towers. But you've only put 4 possible places for double giant bombs that I would worry about. Yes, there are spaces at 3, 6, 9, 12 oclock, but I wouldnt worry about those ones since they aren't really in the line of the hogs. A skilled hogger will send a single hog to each location to trigger 1-2 of the double giant bombs, and then proceed to wreck your base. I may also send 1-2 loons to some of your outer cannons/arch towers also (or in the alternative) so that my hog path would avoid your double bomb traps altogether.

But, this base will most likely stop a noob hogger.

The thing is, you can't have a base that is anti-everything. But, your walls help prevent you from being 3 starred by gowiwi,gowipe, your ad are a good distance away from each other to fight off drags and, as I mentioned, it's relatively good at preventing noob hog attacks.

My intentions when designing the base were for the hogs that are meant to lure the castle and/or set off giant bombs to veer to the defenses off to the corners rather than going straight toward the core. This would stop a single hog from doing either.

The cannon and archer tower to the north are not inside the CC radius. The hogs would have to destroy those and then go south to the defenses below them. This would probably take more than one hog to accomplish this. Any CC is lureable, but my goal is to make it costly in terms of time and troops. I also think that multiple corner defensive structures would have to be destroyed for a hogger to be able to feel confident that there are no giant bombs in his intended path to the core (unless he is lucky). I think this would take more than two hogs.

There are also two possible DGB locations inside the core near each of the x-bows. These would frighten me the most if I were hogging the base.

I agree that a combo of loons/hogs could be trouble, but the corner defenses are all in range of air defenses and I am not sure of a way to improve on this.

Do you have suggestions on how to fix these problems? I suppose my intent was to use the possible DGB locations to scare hoggers away and try to focus on making life hard for golem attackers. I wanted the TH to be as central as possible to keep wizards from being able to destroy it without breaking a lava wall first.

Base looks fairly good. I would work on making a hog ring if you want it to defend hog attacks well. The DGB's won't really be triggered in quite a few situations. The spring traps are poorly placed, they need to be in the path that hogs will take as well as other troops. Your core looks alright, but as I said before the ring is broken and the hogs could easily gain access to your teslas and xbows. You have a good idea going there, just needs some tweaking. Looks great against dragons, but a smart GoHoWiWi or just a hogger could snag three on it.

So where should I place the traps?
