I need a TH8 war and farming base.
Hello! I'm Soumil, my IGN is ThUnDeR GoD. I've maxed TH7 and am now waiting for TH upgrade to finish. I would like a reliable farming and war base complete with air sweeper AND 4th mortar. Can you post a few pics and/or a link to a forum thread? Thank you in advance

Here are a couple of links for Farms
If you search this site you will find some excellent designs. Here are a few links.

The common theme with all great farm bases for TH8 is Centralize your resources. And put those wizard towers in a triangle. You want as much protection for the resources as possible, and also effectively disguising your traps and teslas is key as well. Throw that town hall out there for an easy target, that will deter a lot of enemies. I also recommend at least level 6 walls to discourage enemies, and MAKE SURE to put your best walls in the inside of your base. I recommend getting those wizard towers to max asap, and the mortars as well, because you need that splash damage at TH8 in my opinion. As a TH9, I often stay away from TH8's that have maxed wizard towers and well placed walls and resources.
For the recent addition of the air sweeper, (none of these examples have it), I recommend placing it between 2 AD's so that if you get air attacked you have a good defense on one side. Then, you could also consider staggering the CC a little to the opposite side and always request archers or air troops for additional defense. You're always going to lack a little on the opposite side with the new sweeper until you get the archer queen at TH9.
In my opinion as well, I do not think you need to max your TH8 before getting to TH9. Maxing TH7 is very important if you can but for TH8 its almost like a broken version of TH9, because you will notice the difference when you get the Queen and the extra DE as well as troop upgrades, more defenses, etc. That's what I did, I stayed at TH8 for a while but did not max, just got out of there as fast as I could, and as a TH9 now I am so happy with my AQ and level 6 BARCH combo for farming, not to mention I have so much dark elixir every day with the drills being upgraded. It's glorious.
