Hannibal’s Farming Base Guide

[ClanMcLeodClanLeader]

With this build I'm trying to apply a concept from Sun Zi's Art of War; choosing in advance the location you want the battle to take place. The attacker has to choose between going right into the teeth of the defense, or walking a long way through the point defenses. If you don't believe me, that's fine, but I rarely lose significant resources with this kind of setup. Give it a try. Either way its an important concept to keep in mind, trying to encourage the attacker to hit at a certain place, one you preselected as the spot where you want them to attack. often the weakest seeming point is actually the strongest.

And cannons,Teslas and xbows do have the DPS to react in time my layout.

I don't mean to be unkind, my friend, but look at the northern corner of that base you posted, second spike from the top on the left:

Teslas have an activation radius of five. It's smaller than the range they have once activated. The teslas won't activate to an attack there. Neither of your X-bows nor your cannons are in range.

The only defenses you have in range are a mortar (slow) and a level 3 wizard tower which requires three hits to kill a level five wallbreaker.

I have no doubt that your base stands up well to people who don't know what they're doing, my friend. But to folks who do, your base is a nut begging to be cracked. If you like your base, I'm happy for you. But if you come to a thread about building a base that can withstand a serious raiding attack and try to tell us that it will.... Well, I'm going to tell you that you're wrong.

Fair enough, I know it needs some tweaking, but I posted it to get feedback, not start a fight. It may be that most of the people who attack me don't know what they're doing, but it does stand up to standard armies I face pretty well. I said I enjoyed your post and i wish some people in my clan would read it. I'm just trying out new builds other than what's standard and trying to apply some different concepts to base building than what's currently out there.

Well overlaps layer isn't hard to break, with rage Wbs then it's fast to punch a big hole there ,Then i will sent giants following with babs,archer support behind at last goblin then it's your resources done ( haha I love those sneaky guys they are so good for farming)may you place your base in middle of maps and place building arround then it's better

And it has flaws, but you haven't addressed anything else I've said about how it's different than the kind of base building you describe. Just because you say it doesn't work, doesn't make that necessarily true. You can only know if you've raided similar bases, which I haven't seen any of, or tried it yourself. The best clash of clans base design hasn't been made yet, and its naive to claim you know everything.

Good advice though guys. Thanks

I'll make some adjustments and post a video in a separate thread. Seeing everything clump up in one spike gap trying to bust through and then watching a mortar hit obliterate everything is a beautiful thing.
