So I have been attacked several times over the last two days, and I lose upwards of 2-3k DE per attack and I do not get a shield. This has been happening to other people in my clan. It's impossible to defend against war armies using 4-5 spells per attack from getting 35% of your base.
I was thinking about building a base with the purpose of letting them get farther into the base to keep from getting screwed. I think in the long run I would lose less resources. Thoughts?

You may/may not find the following links helpful as Ash and Dokugan discuss the potential "thinking" of base design as it pertains to the new update:
Both Ash and Dokugan have offered some insight into what they feel the new meta base design should include:

We are entering a difficult transition. While many are utilizing "heavy armies" to farm this is a non-sustainable strategy for most clashers. Great deal of turmoil right now and best bet is to try to ride "the wave" and see where we end up in several weeks.
The only resource I really care about right now is DE and I am losing upwards of 12-15k a day.
I hear you, and feel the pain as a TH9. You are a seasoned player so I might suggest you look over some of the post-update bases (bases updated since December 10th, 2015) to ascertain if any strike your interest as most are DE protection-centric:Quote:

The other aspect I have seen discussed , and for me its counter intuitive, is to go with a Southern Teaser style base and/or a Trap/troll base with sufficient "goodies" to entice attackers away from the DE.
I use Ashe's th9 new base design and I always get a shield when attacked heavily.
But I still get resources taken...
You're definitely gonna lose some resources in any defense, but the most important thing to defend is the DE storage. Make that your priority - putting it in the center of your base should come to mind. TH is secondary, but important as well.
It's true that you can't stop certain TH10 war armies, but the least you can do is defend against common BARCH/GiBARCH variants.
Farm more than what is stolen from you as well, that's the way to progress. Now you can attack through your shield and not have the shield removed, make use of that!
All the best! (:
For TH9 and below, you can't ever hope to stop mass giants + heal spells. I've destroyed so many maxed TH9s, it isn't even funny.
An inferno-less base = a weak base
But with TH11s knocking on our doors, TH10s are getting wrecked left right and center too. Without any DE dumps, TH11s come in with 3 golems and 10 witches or some combo of that, easily taking all the loot in any TH10 base. Eternal tome + mass skels + rage = dead TH10 base
So yeap, there's actually no point defending. Actually, by maxing, you don't save much loot either. Which is why my base with rushed defenses loses around the same amount of loot compared to someone who maxed their prior THs
i am a close to max ten walls are lacking but most everything else is good, dos no matter where you put anything if they want it they will take it! the only thing you can do is GEM if you fell like making super cell pockets deeper or spend it as fast as you earn it. If you cant spend it then dont loot it or you will get wrecked, the only other solution I have is to stick everything you can outside your base and hope that a big dog does not come to your neighborhood looking to get it all. yet i stuck all collectors and storages outside and protected my de and th and im still losing all my dark!! it has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me off to point i dont play now. sad that sufpercell has screwed up a great game! best of luck!
When you try to defend everything, you defend nothing. Prioritize and centralize your biggest asset. I often swap the positions of my storages based on how much I have.
Having more compartments seems to help against de raiders.
Spreading your storages out throughout the base seems to be effective for gold and elixir. This way they really have to 3 star you to get it all.
Hope this helps
I wouldn't necessarily say it's pointless. Defend all of your property! Having lvl 10+ walls usually solves that problem for you! Keep on strengthening your walls and village!
happy clashing!
