How to make troops go center?

Show enemy base pic ?

This is very true when enemy base design is moat-style. You need to "cut" off the path to divert the dragons to turn into centre. Either with some dragons first, or to use heroes or other armies.

e.g. dragon clear outside at one side, then some hogs/others at the same side to go direct into centre. Rage + heal core.

Here the base looks something like this: I lightninged the single AD on the left and then deployed my drags in that direction. Before that I put down my BK and cc troops, but they were unable to take out the mortar and surrounding buildings.

^^ That is similiar to moat-style. This is how I will attack:
- release 7-8 dragons at bottom from before-left-elixir-storage until before-right-gold-storage. Let it clear the bottom corner, lure CC and dragons kill all.
- wait till the bottom defenses cleared, at least both lower mortars.
- release CC full of hogs L5 (request from higher mates) from the bottom most corner (where the word "18/35"). You need at least 5x. Preferably 6x-7x.
- when enough defense is cleared, and the position you drop CC, the hogs will go straight to the nearest defense, i.e. the core AT.
- 1x rage and 1x heal in core. You only worry about the AT, WT and also HT + GB.
- let the dragon merry go round outside for cleanup. Put heal spell where you need it. Release remaining dragon where needed.
- drop heroes to help clean up.

The base core weakness is centralize AD, where hogs can rage inside.

A similiar method is to use the heroes much earlier. Same as before, only the change I bold it.
- release 7-8 dragons at bottom from before-left-elixir-storage until before-right-gold-storage. Let it clear the bottom corner, lure CC and dragons kill all.
- wait till the bottom defenses cleared, at least both lower mortars. Drop the king (and queen if you have) to help clear the left/right side if the dragons are not clearing up the bottom defenses.
- release CC full of hogs L5 (request from higher mates) from the bottom most corner (where the word "18/35"). You need at least 5x. Preferably 6x-7x.
- when enough defense is cleared, and the position you drop CC, the hogs will go straight to the next nearest defense, i.e. the core AT.
- 1x rage and 1x heal in core. You only worry about the AT, WT and also HT + GB.
- let the dragon merry go round outside for cleanup. Put heal spell where you need it. Release remaining dragon where needed.

The guy who had attacked this base was as unfortunate as me with his dragons going outside to destroy all the useless buildings. So how do I make them go into the center?? It's very frustrating and annoying.

I know exactly what you mean... i learnt it the hard way... what i show below also applies for heroes... many ppl say my pekka is dumb, my BK is dumb he went the other way etc.. we want the troops to go in a direction a we assume he reads our mind... So here is what you do

Attachment 90890

If you want your troops to not wander away or go around the base, break their path... as show in the pic if you take out the barracks or the builder buts the troops would go to the next closest building (all the melee style attack troops only).... the same concept can be used for your hogs,giants, golems etc...

Funnel them..

Oh god ♥♥♥♥, I saw the base and I was scared for a bit because it looked oddly similar to mines so I thought my clan probably went against yours. Then I clicked on the picture and it wasnt me :D

Hmm not sure if a BK and 40 archers could do that?

You dont need BK and 40 archers... for the base in the pic the 2 dark barrack would be out of range for the archer towers so you could drop a couple of minions and the path is broken... after taking out the cannons and the other buildings the troops would go to the DE storage and the Gold storage... there is automatic path breaking with the gold storage unless a tesla pops up there your troops would come back and go to the AT... if there is a tesla then it would be different... that is why it is always better to not put all your troops at once... you can slightly vary your attack once you see whats going on...
