I presume you fixed your wall on the right-hand side?

I have now... thanks wondered where that spurious piece of wall came from...:eek:

So far so good - was attacked by 82 lvl 4 arch, 91 lvl4 barb and a couple of lonely lvl3 wb and they just picked off the pumps and mines while being mown down. Interestingly the way the AI seems to work when they go in between the spokes and take out the defence they don't carry on going inwards or in the case of the arch firing in...they go back out around the end of the spoke and into the next gap....i like the way that is working.

Let us know how your new design works out. I was thinking of doing something similar with my TH8, but not having the extra air defense & no x-bow can definitely hurt the effectiveness of this layout. But I'd like to hear your experiences with TH 9 anyway. Thanks in advance.

The beetle design is still one of the best I've seen so far.

Moe's beetle design is that good? D:

[ZachSomerscales]

Funcionality wise?.........I would've never guessed

Yeah one of the best.

I'm going to pipe in and say that I agree. No idea how his egg crate design works at TH8/9, but after an extensive evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses at TH7, the beetle design ends up being more consistent. Heard someone mention being rolled over by archers, and that is exactly right. A well-executed attack from a TH8/9 player will easily crack the egg crate design (I've seen it in at least 20 replays), but even the most skilled player's plans can be thwarted by the beetle design. However, if they want it bad enough, there is no stopping them ^^
