[1,000 Subscribers Milestone] Top 10 Clash of Clans Base Designs

http://rockhall.com/media/assets/ima...b86/a65e76.jpg
As my gratitude for all the support from the community, which helped me achieve the 1,000 YouTube Subscribers milestone, I have put together a compilation of 10 exceptional base designs along with brief analysis of their attributes. This list might be helpful to those who are searching for the "best designs", but do not have the time to extensively search the forums nor Youtube. For enthusiastic players, it might be a great tool to evaluate their own designs by calibrating them with the discussed criteria. Without further ado, here are the Top 10 Base Designs!

Volume 2: http://youtu.be/sTdYxKu8SMY
__________________________________________________

Please note that this list is, by no means, extensive, and was evaluated from a small sample of designs shared on the official Design Threads, DTP’s discussion group, & YouTube subscriber submissions. The ratings were given from my personal assessment of each base’s efficiency. Here are the main attributes that were used to rate the designs.

1. Clan Castle: 1 Point - Centralization
2. Core Defenses: 3 Points
   
   • Mortars - Well-covered, equilateral triangular formation
   • Wizard Towers - Well-covered, bilateral (TH7), equilateral triangular (TH8), equilateral square (TH9) formation
   • X-Bows (TH9) - Centralized bilateral formation
   
   
3. Air Defenses: 1 Point - Semi-covered bilateral (TH7), equilateral triangular (TH8), equilateral square (TH9) formation
4. Point-Defenses - 1.5 Points - Semi-covered, even distribution
   
   • Archer Towers
   • Cannons
   • Hidden Teslas
   
   
5. Storages & Town Hall - 1.5 Points - Well-covered, segmented, even distribution
   
   • Golds
   • Elixirs
   • Dark Elixirs
   • Town Hall (Hybrid/Trophy) - 1 out of the 1.5 Points - Centralized, well covered.
   
   
6. Segmentation - 1 Point
7. Staggered Junctions - 0.5 Point
8. Funneling - 0.5 Point

Once again, thank you so much for all the support! I will try my best to keep contributing to this amazing community!

Awesome 1,000 Sub vid ping !!!! I just hit 1,000 too !! :o
*Bear Hug*Squeeze* :o

I paused a ZILLION times on your vid to read every single details of the points alloacted.. LOL..
I think you can create 15 mins vid, maybe consider extending it in the future ?
Considering you only took 6 mins.

btw ping, maths error :P

http://i43.tinypic.com/2zejtcw.jpg

Should be 1.4/1.5, not 1.3, but doesn't affect overall score of 9.1 either way :p

Very nice! But you didn't feature your theme park.:(

Very nice video, Pingfao! Awesomely done!
I'd like to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to put this video together and help out the CoC community!
It is greatly appreciated!:o

- Grateful Mustache

I personally don't watch your videos but gz on 1000 subscribers :D
I really enjoy this thread because of the fact i can now have good ideas/concepts for designing my own base or coping someones farming base for future use
Town Hall 7 in 3 hours on new acc :) yay

Great vid! And grats on the big 1000

Congratulations on your 1,000th subscriber. Now I know you're being modest by not including your TH8 theme park, but seriously, using your scoring system, what would your farming base have scored?

very nice thread!

Quick question: help me understand why hannibals base has the open arms? would it not be better to close the arms off and make another compartment?

ORSM vid Ping! I submitted my base from the PM on the forums, because I have no idea how to PM on youtube.:p
If someone could tell me I would be very grateful.:)

oh yes and how could I forget, congrats on 1000 subs!

Thank you everyone for the warm congratulations!! :D

D'oh! I'm glad I didn't miscalculate your overall rating. :) Quite a few mistakes were made while I was working with all the screenshots, GFX's, templates, tables, etc. I had to re-render the whole video right before uploading, because I misspelled "Motars" in one of the templates, and distributed it to all 9 reviews lol. Djemerson also pointed out that I missed one of Hannibal's Archer Towers while highlighting his Point-Defenses. Will proof-read better next time!

Good question, but I honestly don't know if I should rate my designs using my own rating system. It would be somewhat biased, because the system is based entirely on the criteria I used to create my designs.

They redirect Wall-Breakers to the corners of his base, which are heavily reinforced with staggered junctions. Check out the Anti-WB thread in my sig for more info on that. They also act as funnels, which clump troops into his Wizard Towers' fire.

Where are the TH10 top bases? This thread is flawed! :P

well done on a 1,000

*Switched out Gold mine for Buiilder Huts at East/West sides to create 2 additional X-junctions. In addition the Huts are now additional place Holders for Teslas & Giant Bombs if you feel the need to use them there.


Enjoy!!

(bump) grats on reaching new milestone. Rock on!

P.S. Still have no idea how you came up with top 10. Don't mind me, I am data freak ;)

I suppose then if the system is based entirely on the criteria you use to create your own designs, by extension, your theme park design would rate pretty high. :)

Aww.. I didn't know this was why you wanted the screenshot.

/blush

You've always been one of the more interesting and entertaining voices on the forums, Ping, and I've appreciated our interactions. A ton of the folks whose designs I paid attention to dropped out of the forums and in many cases quit playing after CoC's version of the Night of the Long Knives for base designers (aka the wb AI fix). I was just thinking after our recent PMs that you're one of a handful of guys I paid attention to back then who is still around and posting! As I've posted before, this design began as a modification of Kris' design from Exodias. When I look around to see what people are doing with base design he's another guy I'll check.

I should also add that for practical purposes this design has never been really tested. It has been months since I've been seriously attacked which is one reason my YouTube channel has been dead. A friend tried a modified version around 3k trophies as a trophy base, and apparently it sucked in that role. (It's not designed for trophy armies so I didn't feel all that bad).

Vote for the sandbox mode in the ideas forum if you guys want to see more designs from high level folks like me. Otherwise it's almost impossible to test our designs these days!

Just to say hannibals setup looks awesome

Ping is too damn amazing. Nuff' said

I was just looking at this base http://i.imgur.com/k0w4HP0.jpg, which is the nr. 1 TH7, and does this guy seriously not have a barb king

i miss my base hahahahahah

Ahh thanks for the very kind words, Hannibal! Means a lot coming from you. :) I agree that it would be nice to be able to test our designs against experienced raiders more frequently. I wish the TH wasn't so chunky, and incorporated more easily into designs to avoid shields.

Glad I could help! I originally wanted to pick 1 Farming, 1 Hybrid, and 1 Trophy design for each Town Hall level, but the majority of the designs shared on the forum, Clan DTP board, & YouTube submissions were Farming bases. :(

Hey, where would you suggest putting a barb king, in this base http://i.imgur.com/k0w4HP0.jpg

Once again Ping, you make a huge contribution to the forums and also promoting what can only be described as some truly outstanding bases as well as clearly highlighting their strong points, you sir are a forum legend! I particularly liked the first base on the video (ha ha, thank you for that inclusion, appreciate it) must just say well done on the viewers and subscribers, and also a huge congratulations to everyone who appeared on the bases shown, absolutely amazing work everybody.

Can someone be kind enough to do mine! I don't care about DE and TH

In my opinion, Heroes, especially the Barbarian King, should be placed outside of the walls. While the Archer Queen can be fairly useful defensively, both Heroes are often either asleep or lured out, making their "Place Holders" a waste of wall coverage.

Thanks for the kind words! Just doing my part. :) Btw. your design was a life savior. I was stumped on what interesting/creative designs to use for the introduction haha.

LOVE the video, and very honorable of you to not include yourself...but i'm sure you would have made the top 3 :)

Most of all congrats on 1k subs - believe me the next 1k comes a LOT quicker good luck with your channel!

When is this gonna happen again? I want to add my base

your exposed defenses for your new base most probably lost quite alot of marks, such that its not in the top 10.

Edit: My apology if you were offended. I was merely passing a remark based on what ping said regarding the ranking, as its all based on his point system which he created, with his tesla theme park as template. Hence just trying to give a possible reason why moe's base wasnt included.

Btw. On your thread, I asked for permission to evaluate, and most likely, feature your new design, but never got a response. :p

Thanks, Moe! As mentioned in the OP, the list wasn't extensive, and was concluded from a small sample of designs that stood out while I was skimming through the Base Design threads, Clan DTP discussion board, & YouTube subscriber submissions. Thus, I might have missed a few note-worthy designs in the process. Will do a better job at sampling next time!

From my experience, passed 2400, you will almost always get attacked by high Master players using decked out trophy hunting armies with 4 spells and both Heroes. Hannibal's design was made for farming, not for trophy hunting.

Why have you switched your profession from harvester to farmer, my dear?

Hmm... Ok so pingfao, suppose im looking for a TH8 farming layout, should i take noamsland's (rank 1 in TH8) or your revamped tesla theme park? Which is better for me? :confused:
Thanks :)

Congrats Pingfao. Great work again and do keep it up.

Superb job on the vid ping..
always like to test ur base at higher tp point lol

congrats on e 1000 subscriber ..

In my opinion, they both have very similar attributes, and are efficient for farming. I do not have any personal experience with noamnsland's design, so I cannot evaluate which one is better. Try them both and see which one you like better. ;)

Awe Maggie, sad days. :( How do you think I feel?! I just got TH9 a couple of weeks ago! You better at least linger around the forums and keep in touch. :)

Hmmm... So my base is less than 8.6 out of 10. I should do some self-reflection to buck up :eek:

Great work as always Ping.

As for the funneling, I am still not convince that it works/helps. What i normally do is deploy wallbreakers to the nearest building behind wall. I essentially treat it like a closed compartment.

The effectiveness of funnels are very subjective, and works differently based on building/deployment placements. There are scenarios where funnels can't be approached as partially enclosed compartments, such as the one in the replay below.

http://youtu.be/iut8L5rwWwI

Funneling also has a few other usages, which take advantage of the differences in troop AIs.

I'm personally conflicted about using wall tiles for funneling also. I see a few potential bonuses:

1. Given that wallbreakers are deployed after giants, the giants pathfind before the wall is broken, and generally keep the benefit of the path you've established even after your funneling effect has been destroyed. Folks who play around with funneling have likely noticed this, but the threshold for changing a path once it has been established seems significantly higher than the threshold to pick a path to begin with. So even if it's only limited to giants (or whatever troops are used as the pre-wb decoy), generally you'll still get the benefit for those troops launched first.

2. It intimidates attackers. People like to attack designs they understand. They don't like to attack designs they don't understand as the only thing worse than losing is losing in an embarassing way that says, "I made a fool out of you." Sometimes you can play mind games with attackers before attacks are launched.

3. Often you can shield certain portions of walls or certain wallbreaker paths forcing wbs to break the tiles you want and forcing them to target additional compartmens before they tunnel deeper.

To their detriment, almost any funneling effect can be broken by chosing a spawn point with a path length above the minumum, although it's often hard to break short flanges if they're made near the map edge. It's (in my opinion) debatable if the wall tiles are really better spent in funneling or with floating buttress "flange" effects (e: as compared with using the tiles to finish the boxes and forcing another wall break). But in this god-forsaken wilderness we call base design these days, it's one of the few ways to add some interest to our efforts.

I completely agree with your points. Though I feel that the intimidation factor is lessen when dealing with seasoned attackers. This also goes perfectly to what you mentioned in your first point too. To a more seasoned attacker, the funneling design will indeed stop the initial decoy troops. As to Ping's replay, it does indeed showcase how funneling works. However, the troop deployment more specifically deploying all giants at once is not an ideal attacking strategy IMO.

With any design, there are tradeoffs. The more funneling is built into the design the less segmentation and staggered junction you have and vice versa. I am not saying that funneling is bad, I just haven't seen enough replays to totally convince myself of it's effectiveness.

I mean, X-Bow L4 - seriously?! I just managed to scrape barely enough gold to complete all my splashes, and start on ONE L11 AT & L2 X-Bow.
And don't even get me started on walls...

/stressed !(=.=)!

Heh, speaking of which,
I have just been blessed with an unusually large amount of time in my hands
& will be very free over the next few weeks.

My Kiddy Pool seems to have stabilised,
so I can probably bring del out for a spin & (maybe) stop by DTP for a a day or two.
(I also need to visit Stocking Girl as well the good folks of Bonbee is a Cat.)

Lol. i'm so late to this thread. I found I'm now always checking only my subscribed threads (set to auto for those I replied on) and the group forum so I miss new ones.

I like the discussion on funneling, thanks Hannibal and aznwarmonkey for the discussion :)

I'm personally tried out the funneling effect on my pokeball base as well, and here was a defense replay yesterday

Here is a pic of my current base that I'm running, with protection for elixir, and funneled cannons compartment, 2 AD design.

In my case, funneling actually provides me with more walls to play around with haha..
I used that additional walls to create more segmentations and compartments in my corner segments, which turns out to be pretty good.

Hannibal's base has a very close fundamental structure with yours, apart from the funneling and some building placement, I would say its very high up there in terms of rating as well.

But as said, funneling is a debatable topic, and works for certain base.

But in ping's case, his base was built around the premise of funnelling, which is better than bases like mine, which tries to incorporate funneling, instead of having funneling as one of the core features.

Maggi~ why get stress on a game~ Chill :D :p

----------------------
This lil' Jun feels lonely.. :(

@Hannibal, agreed. The 3rd point is especially true in your case. I really like the way your using your funnels to "push" the WBs away from the T-Junctions between your WT's and AT's.

@aznmonkey, as Jun has mentioned, funneling actually gives you a few extra walls to reinforce your inner junctions/segmentation. You basically take out a few walls from the outer compartments to "open" them up into funnels. These outer compartments are often the first ones to be broken into. By "opening" them up at strategic locations, you essentially predetermine the attack paths for enemy troops. I agree that seasoned farmers will figure out ways to avoid their troops funneling too much, so will they figure out ways to break into segmentation. At your level, I'm sure it's unlikely that you lose large amounts of resources. Why don't you play around with funneling, and get some replays of your own to better judge the mechanic. No harm in experimenting. ;)

@Maggie, stress..? C'mon now! Come by DTP and party with us for a few days to blow off some steam. Hopefully we can cure your stress? :cool:

Come to my Kiddy Pool in Farming4Farrming.
You'll never be lonely.

I am Queen there - or at least, I'd like to think that I am -
and the Evil Witch is never around, unless it's to kick people.

Hey... wait a minute...
*pokes Jun*
...shouldn't you already be in TH9 by now... :o

Love,
Pingfao's Numma Wan Pingfan
(who was apparently an "old TH8" @ L86 *pokes Junliang again* <--- j/k :o)

I hope you don't mind but I made the executive decision to promote your current/future top 10 base vids on our website!!

www.misfitsofwar.com

We have been getting a lot of hit since it's launch so i'm hoping this will be able to generate more subs for you as well as help some of our lower level people looking for base designs to sample!

Thanks again for doing this for the community!!

Thought he's funneling, making the troops that walks through it learned how to fly ;D
Another thought : -Counting from the high HP for lv8-9 walls, why not you close that? would be harder to break.

Really sorry for the awfully late response. I have been so busy with training for a new job that I only have time to manage DTP's forum group then briefly lurk the forum. Thank you so much for the honorable feature on your amazing website. I LOVE the GFXs. Very very well-done. I wish Misfits of War the best of luck! :D

BTW. did you make all those GFX's? The iPad one is extremely awesome.

Routing troops over traps is only 1 of the many benefits of funnels. ;)

hi Ping

the best is jeband's?
thanks in advance

any reason to bump this thread?

Seems like a few are still shopping around for TH7-TH9 bases, so here are some additional designs that might be of interest. :)

http://youtu.be/sTdYxKu8SMY

HTH

tried all of them:D

nice post....

Sorry if this may seem like a needless bump but....

Ive been using hannibals base posted in this thread to great effect.

i noticed though there wasnt a hybrid th 9 that made the cut or even something that would work for trophy pushes. Do you have reviews of some somewhere on this forum?

Id like to do something that doesn't require me to entirely demolish my setup just every time i push.

Can you rate it please. It's been doing well. I got the first idea of this base from your TTP, I would also like to thank you!

http://i41.tinypic.com/f9qrrr.jpg

Congrats Man! And to all those people who own these bases.....THUMBS UP!!!!! I really like your taste Chief! ;)

Why would you bump this thread from may???

Sorry to bump this thread.. I'm a new th9 n follow Hannibal base.. Just wondering w the new update of witches.. Does the base still relevant?

Witches cannot be stopped, even maxed bases are getting 3 starred by them. As when farming, you won't encounter witches, no.

lol I modified hannibals base with a center spawn trap right in the middle and someone from savage 44 attacked me with a golem and a farming army and got 5%

Quick question, with the top th 8 base, where would that upgrading ad go?

Congrats, Pingfao, on your 1k milestone!
Really appreciate the work you've done advancing the science of base design. You're a champ!
Best wishes.

-r

ps same goes for you, Junliang. Your base design theories are top notch. I watch your vids all the time...

the real question in my mind is why the community hasn't supported you with more than 1000 subs... Id sub twice or more, if i could.

First off all great thread! I really enjoyed reading it. I am about to hit TH8 with a fully upgraded th7. I feel that your themepark is a good design, but first end-th8 when defenses are strong. What would you recommend as a good farming beginning th8 design? and where would you put the 3rd AD in Noamsland design? :)

Hope you have the time to look at my post - i know you must be super busy..:)

Thanks in advance,
Brgds

Nice base designs.

Those are some very nice bases, but what do you mean by staggered junctions?

Junctions staggered by at least two walls from the adjacent junction.

They look great!

why don't these bases use heros for defence? not worth it?

You must bear in mind that these bases were all designed 3 months back, when the Clashing climate was very different from what it is today.

I have been using Hannibal's TH9 and loving it. Thank you very much.

These bases are no longer effective as they used to. It's time to move on and carefully browse other bases in the design threads.

Hahhahah omg i laughed so hard and woke up my gf!Shes not happy lol

Awesome and very informative thread. I'd love to see an update to op though, as there are some good new bases that came out the past few months and probably some change in game mechanics.

If you are trying to be funny then i am sorry to tell you that you have failed miserably. I said i would like to see if there would be an update to the op. Of course i have looked at the thread. I just wanted to know if the op, which is not you, is going or at least planning to do an update, thats all.

Please understand that one joke does not work twice.

Since the original post was back in May….

Should the top 10 be updated?

As a matter of fact i wasnt being funny, however what im saying is, theres more threads like this one that arent so old that you could have looked at at. And these threads dont get updated, as more pop up. And i was getting annoyed at the amount of threads that were bumped. And even the forum rules say its not allowed....

Haa thts cool an its nice to have some designs!

the #2 beats #1 on th9. awesome air def placement and stuff. ill be using that
