Defeating the purpose of a farming base

[fette]

LOL I understand this makes for fun replays...but boy I hate it when I snipe a th ( which I consider a cheap shield - kind of a friendly service for farmers) and then 4 teslas pop up!!! That means WAR :eek:...

[Inquisitor]

For those people who trap their outside town halls, I always do the following:

1. Lure your heroes and cc and kill them

2. Set off your bombs with few barbs

3. If you have enough loot and my army is strong enough, full attack from the other side

4. Stop my attack before 40%

5. If my army is not strong enough, lightening

[holykia]

I stopped sniping THs some time ago since they will come back and zap your DE..

I do know how you felt when they came back to zap the DE.

I also stop doing that and now i let them snip my TH n i go back to zap their DE!

[Growler]

i dont personally do this but i talked to a clan member and he said to me " if a sniper with a good army wants to take out my town hall first and then head on attack me he will waste more of his army on the th and have less to attack my base with"

A sniper with a good army won't be overly obsessed with the cups, they will probably be simply doing it to help maintain their trophy level whilst farming. Quite a few times I will see a relatively tough base, go to snipe and find they have stuck teslas there. I will endevour to make as much of a mess of their base as I can. I will also completely ignore their TH and refuse to give them the shield they initially wanted.

I fully believe that if you are farming and want that shield you should make your TH as accessible as possible. Not only can booby trapping it be counterproductive in respect of the attack you face, it also has wider implications by discouraging the lower levels from sniping in the long run.

I don't know what everyone else's opinion on this is, but I can't seem to get my head around people who have their townhall outside their walls, but yet put it well within range of defences or have it covered with bombs and teslas. The purpose of having your town hall outside is so people will snipe it and give you a free shield, but if you have it so close and within range of defences, people will constantly pass it up as it isn't really snipe able by a couple of troops, then somebody will come along and steamroll your base since all those snipers passed yours up. Same thing with teslas and bombs around the townhall, it will just annoy the person and lead to being 3 starred.

Just wanted to get other peoples opinions on this, and see if it's not just me who gets irritated by this as it clearly does defeat the point of having a farming base.

not really... the purpose of having teslas bombs etc near ur th is to make ur enemy waste as much troops as possible for taking ur th... after that the enemy will not have the troops available for even trying to steal any resources from you!

That is just silly. People drop just one troop on the TH to test it. If 4 teslas and some bombs pop up, I know your base is now has less defense. So now they go smash your base and ignore your TH. I just don't understand how this is a good thing for you.

Lol. Trust me, the longer you play this, the more you realise that sometimes, there is no honour amongst thieves.

Stupid, just plainly stupid.

Experienced players always drop one archer to test for traps.

If the town hall turns out to be trapped, then they will:

1. If loot is good and army strong enough, attack the storages, fully aware that many traps and teslas are missing

2. If the army is weak, lightening storages, kill your heroes and CC, set off bombs

Either way you are screwed.


The worst I've ever done is to a Th 9 who trapped his town hall with 4 giant bombs. My two archers sniped the town hall, moved 1 step forward, and set off all 4 of them. The guy is instantly poorer by 70k gold. Then I zapped his DE for an additional 1k DE for committing such stupidity.

[Inquisitor]

All I did was rebuild my base on the edge, with my townhall in my base, but with an open side. I crammed that space with traps...
got some funny replays and not much loot loss, which is my goal at the moment.

Those traps cost roughly 30k in gold.

They can all be set off by a few barbs.

Thats just stupid for the traps to be there!I send in 3 barbs and get rid of all the traps the take ur TH anyway,In the end you lose trophies and get a shield BUT you have to re arm ur traps and bombs.Just put traps inside where if someone actually does a full on raid they can actually be used properly
