TH 9 Farming Base Introduction - The Balance Beam

I think he means generally, square bases allow for easy WB usage to get in where you want. Staggering walls and compartments is a good method of ensuring that an enemy has to spend maximal wallbreakers to get into the desired compartment, by having to hit a lot of other compartments... This is rather irrelevant to your base design, as it affects defensive led troops to ensure a win instead of relying on walls and brute strength to stop the attacker.

As requested, here is a variation of the base I made up that is a bit less square.

I tried to address the following problems in this current version:

1. The wizard tower in the corners will not attract hogs and loons to the morts and this base is stronger against hogs
2. It also allowed me to retain my preferred core of the base where it is not as wide open because this core is harder to reach all my stores.
3. It allows me to incorporate double bombs into the base to further fight hog attacks that are the only attacks that have 3 starred this base on me thus far

Cons of this version

1. Many more mines and pumps are outside of base including dark drills
2. Since more buildings are not protected, it will lead to higher percentage of buildings destroyed and will potentially hurt trophy count more.
3. The wiz tower is not in full range of the stores anymore or mort at all
4. With the wiz tower closer to edge, it is going to be easier to pick off


*note* Once my teslas are done upgrading, I will place my two strongest teslas in core to help protect my DE better.

Version 3.0

The base will work well if the core is not penetrated, but once it does, especially if the AQ gets into the core, all your storages are pretty much accessible from within the core. That's the only drawback of having a huge core with storages surrounding it.

That said, it's a base that I would use (except that I like my own better of course!). Good job! :)

If you are talking about the version 2.0, I agree. The stores were too exposed with it being wide open. What do you think of my latest revision that I just posted v 3.0?

I just edited the original post to have the different versions of the base. I am referring to version 3.0 where the core is not as wide open and the stores not as exposed.

I have been trying to wait for a defense with this base, but since I changed over to Version 3.0 I have yet to have anything but town hall snipes on my base. That is 14 town hall snipes in a row in crystal 1 except for my most recent as I dropped trophies for better raids.

It must look more intimidating to people now as I have over 20k DE and enough gold to max out what is available to raiders. I have both Xbows upgrading at the same time as well as 2 teslas... so I was kinda surprised I didn't get raided hard.

I consider getting sniped a base victory... so here is the log

I don't have the ability to capture video, so I will post the screen shots in order of the hog attack on my base. Last 21 attacks have resulted in 19 town hall snipes and 2 legit attacks, this was the attack that did the most damage vs. my base. The other attack was weak giants and loons that only did 18%.
