this way my defenses have more time to kill the goblins that are running around the base and it keeps goblins from getting too close to storages by attracting them to a closer point.

But the problem is that many attackers would use archers +/- barbs to clear out your mines/collectors outside. Archers would be unreachable by the mortars.
Even if they use goblins and follow the red path, the goblins are too far away for the mortars to hit them consistently. So you can only rely on single point defense.

OTOH, keeping the mines/collectors closer to the mortars increases the hit rate on the goblins significantly.
And mines/collectors have a much higher hit point than barracks for arch/barb attack.

First off goblins are too fast to be hit by mortars when they are outside walls, second barb arch has never worked well against my base so, Its designed to stop goblins and giants from delving into the core, and its working well for that.

good job incorporating every known defensive trick in the book :) the point defenses are pretty far apart though. any specific kinds of high level th9 attacks that have stolen 100k gold or more from this base?

Sorry--late to reply to this. Great, great thread. I am directing my entire clan--lots of new folks--TH 5, 6, 7s and they will better follow this advice from you than they will from me. :)

Good stuff!

Ive changed my base around a little, just storage placement, and only two people have gotten more than 120 k. They both got 120 k, the first was from lvl 6 troops and dual heroes plus rage and lightning and the second was mass dragon. Though I made this guide so you will make your OWN base, so its better that you don't copy.
