The Maze Bunker

http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/81120

I am approaching TH 8 and wish to give an idea a try.

I was thinking with the new WB AI a variation upon the space bunker could be viable. If you go to the link I have a proposal for a maze bunker. Bear in mind I had a few technical difficulties so their are a few minor buildings missing.

The idea is that I create many routes that zig and zag around preventing a clear path for a WB to travel. I also have targets provided for WB on every side if they do happen to get threw the maze. On the east and west I have pushed out the spawn points as much as I can.

Then like a standard Bunker I have all the high-end defenses located in the center and several around the perimeter. I am unsure if there is enough actual maze to get through. However, I think short of a Pekka-Wizard attack it will hold.

Thoughts and feedback

Pretty bad for farming,i dont exactly see the point of the base though,doesnt seem like its protecting anything except for gold but yeah..i would give a shot in attempting to attack it,also it seems like the left side isnt that strongly defended and the cc and barb king seems lurable

Would this variation be better?

No bunker bases are ridiclously bad. Unless you have FOUR level 7 wizard towers and THREE level SEVEN mortars. Otherwise bleh you can say bai to all your resources

That one isn't a true bunker base. It has 3 central compartments, that are surrounded by a Maze-like grid

That one is much better, BUT try to ur mortars to cover the other 2 so if it gets attacked in the red zone it won't die helplessly-so to prevent that swith the bottom mortar with the dark elixer storage

In my eyes, the variation isn't improving anything. What it does is to leave the top side vulnerable to attack as there is the way to all main compartments behind one wall. The original version has some good points and it sure messes with the unit pathfinding. I'm just not sure can it hold from it's sides as there the core is behind only one wall. For the average attacker, it looks easy, as it has all eggs in one basket, but the design you got going there will mess up most attempts. The AD in the dead center makes that base unballoonable :) I think it's worth a try and sure provide lot of interesting replays :cool:

On a second look of both, I noticed an issue: your Dlix container is just next to splashers. It works ok if the attacker isn't using spells, but most attacks I get start with dropping of lightning spells on the containers. Mortars next to container will go down with two lightnings, wizards with three. Something to think about :)

I think both bases are equally vulnerable. I wouldn't use them myself but you should still get an A for effort. Both bases I could easily raid with my barb/arch/gob/wb army.

For the first base I would attack from the right side. Use 2 light. spells to take out your mortar (if it's lvl 5, otherwise not). Send out mass wave of barbs and archers while sneaking in 2 wb at a time (assuming you have lvl 6 walls or higher). I would need minimum 6 wb's to get in and all of your gold will be mine, since you'll be expecting a mass wave of goblins ready to steal your loot.

The second base I would attack from the top. Same strategy of mass barb/arch waves and sneaking in 2 wb's at a time. depending on where my wb's go I might need 8 wb's to get in but that is why I always have with me at least 10 wb's, not less not more. The thing about this second design is that all you need to do is destroy those t-junctions next to both of your mortars and suddenly all 3 of your gold storages are exposed!

Just my opinion. Although I do admire the effort you put into these designs! :)

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I might explain some of my reasoning. Bear in mind these bases are built to mess with AI. Which is something I love to do but varies with success.

For both bases WB won't target something that isn't a compartment. That means if I leave an opening they will travel around it, provided its not too far. In my experience they will travel quite far in order to get at a compartment. I have seen them attack random wall sections when it was a considerable distance to an actual compartment, however


Bunker Design
For both the north and south positions a WB would seek to get at the compartment in the center or sides.

Similarly an attack from the left or right would draw a WB to the corners.

Ideally the route they must take would allow a WB to get shot down - Wizard towers are place where a WB is likely

Units on the other hand generally will not go quite so far out of their way before attacking a wall. I believe the cannon on the bottom would draw units the long way round. Units will generally (from my experience) be drawn to the defenses and attempt to attack their way threw the wall present.

It may be more effective to place the defense structures away from the central compartment


Compartment Design
This one has similar features but has much greater distances to get around. I think they would also be more likely to be split up and drawn along the edges of the central defenses. I believe at the top of the base the WB would go off to the sides and hopefully units would be drawn off to the sides as well.



Regardless their is only one way to know if it would truly function this way and that would be to test it.



I do wonder if the right and left side on the bunker would do much to slow down a patient foe.

Here is a bit longer discussion about such builds, in case you are interested. :)
