TOWN HALL 8- Hog and Full Frontal Avoidance with Farming Option

[Julezwatts]

HI!

I am going to be walking you through my current base which offers hog- rider avoidance as well as an incorporation of funneling and farming option.

LET'S GET STARTED!

Okay- Your final base will look like this. I'll walk you through all of the steps using pictures and explain the features.




You want to start out in village edit mode.
Lay your walls out like this to begin with:




Then you're going to want to lay out your core:




After you've done your core, lay out your other storages (Not DE).




Now It's time to put in your defenses and DE storage.




Up next are your traps.




Now put in your leftover wall segments.




And let's put in collectors.




And finally, army camps, barracks- and an archer tower. (You can place the archer tower wherever you want. It doesn't need to be outside.)



And that's it! You have your full base.

Let's look over it:

Main entrance points and places where hogs will cross over and covered by traps and teslas.

Air defense and mortar splash covers the entire base, and clan castle radius covers pretty much everything.

Optional farming setup:
Switch out lab for Town Hall, and switch clan castle with DE storage for UltiFarm.

Slight funneling in effect- Defenses are positioned to keep hogs going in circles and stay away from the core- effective hog- proof base with higher than level 3/4 wizards towers.

Wizard and cannon radius cross- cover eachother, creating an effective defense against most TH8 armies.


Hope you all enjoy! I will have defense results up in a little bit. Let me know what you think and/or suggestions on how to improve!

Seems very intimidating; I'd love to see how your defense logs turn out!

[Julezwatts]

will try and have the battle logs up by tomorrow morning

[SchoonMan]

I would switch the extra wall segemnts and oter building more protection

[Julezwatts]

okay- will change

Anyone else have feedback for me?

OHHHHHHHH, Julezwatts bumped his own thread!

lol, okay

Anyways, I think this is a pretty good base design, but from my opinion, i'd think it be better to not make the wiz towers exposed that much, if you were to put them more into the middle, that means that when the hogs are deployed, the will most likely not go for the wiz towers first, this will give the wizard towers a chance to make a heavy splash damage on the hogs before they get to the splash defenses

Just a suggestion

Nice design BTW

Yes, but doing this would compromise the air defense. (Actually, the hogs would probably head for the AT instead of the AD.)

I'll try it and have pics up cras. (Cras is latin for tomorrow. Call me a geek if you wish, but I'm getting higher scores than you on my SAT's because of it)

Looks good. Shame that I'm a TH7. No good TH7 bases designs out there.

Nice work, Julez.

I'd like to see more staggering of wall joints. Lots of T junctions, very vulnerable to WB attacks


Also, I am doubtful that you can slow down a solid hog attack. It seems to be double big bombs are pretty much necessary if you want to take a big enough chuck out of there HP for a chance of a KO before healing kicks in. Of course at Th8, you'll be limited in that way.

I am also not a big fan of single compartment defenses (your archer towers). A patient attacker will target this with archers, then drop there WB and thus the compartment will be ignored by AI.


I think off of these concerns could probably be addressed and you'd have a very solid farming base.
