Saying Goodbye to TH8 and This Base

Hi all,

Whenever I upgrade a TH I like to post my base that I came up with whilst in the previous town hall so that others may use it if they wish.

I try not to use bases I find online, instead preferring to design my own and hope for the best, after a ton of testing I normally stick with an idea for a while and have another change round.

This is my current design for only four more days(!), it has served me well. I was thinking about posting this in base design 101, but thought I'd get some feedback first; I have logs if anyone would like to see them.

Only downside I see with the main base is that it was made pre-air sweeper and I never bothered to incorporate it as I was going up so soon... My war base however, has it playing a major role though, covering 2 Air Defenses and being nicely centralised - The Clan Castle is just lurable though...

I really like your farm base, it's sturdy. The the only gripes I have with it are:

1. The spring trap placement on the east/west by the DE Collectors is kinda useless.
2. The skeleton traps being on the outside is a pet peeve of mine, but not a big issue.
3. The collectors are a little close together and in the same section, but it is tough to spread them on TH8.

All in all a very nice base.

Nice base, but it could use DGBs. Not a half bad job though.

Thanks for the comment. I agree that DGB are indeed an important factor in a base, I feel that I could implement them in my war base quite easily (next to a WT, shift 1 wall and a spring trap to fit the second), but I find Hogs less of an issue in my trophy range.

thanks for your comments and thanks for the positive feedback! I did have a version before this one with some traps in different places, but I thought the teslas had to be central etc and I ran out of room! Same with the traps near the collectors, space issue.

My aim with the collectors was to make sure my defences had as much coverage on them as possible and unfortunately this meant they became a lil grouped. Ah well, I'd rather people stuck to collector raids than take my DE!

I dig your farming base, I can't explain why it's just cool looking xD it's always sad saying goodbye to a old base... But at least u get ur aq!!!
as for the war base:
add dgbs
close the funnels
and it's solid :)
