Dominion: A TH8 Farming (Gold/DE) Base Design

[methotrexate]

You.. what in the world you could really think that a simple th8 can successfully defend against 14 or so lv 6 giant?

Dude... Look up any pingfao base designs... They can...

Really Good compared to mine LOL| I only do low levels

That's exactly what I am thinking! It's actually very useful now to centralize the Burger King as he can't be lured anymore. However, putting him in the middle means moving a storage out and that makes the layout look weird.

What I ended up doing is putting the Burger King to the right side of the DE storage swapping it with one of the gold storages. I then swapped that gold storage with the elixir storage on the right side and put the elixir storage where the Burger King was originally. This might make the people want to attack the base from the right because of the gold storage that is somewhat exposed but the Burger King is now right behind that gold storage and there are 2 wizard towers overlooking that storage so I think that was the best swap.

I'd be very happy if Orz could make a version 1c with a centralized BK though.

Support that, Orz please come one last time and give us version 1c! :-)
I have been using Shuriken until now (thanks ORZ!) but decided to try something new now that I'm approaching maxxed-TH8).
Made some changes to Dominion 1b, just slightly differently from Vipriel (just because I don't like to have storages outside of the walls): swapped BK with upper gold storage, then gold storage with upper left elixir storage, then elixir storage with the upper archer tower, then archer tower with the upper dark barracks...
Meaning another unprotected archer tower on top, but leaving the elixir storage protected by the wiz tower...
Let's see how this performs!

I am using version 1b for a couple of days now. I am saving DE to upgrade BK to lvl10. The DE storage just went over 20k recently. I try to remain low on gold (anyway less than a million) but I am high on elixir (cannot spend it fast enough)
I have been targeted by a classic lvl6 giants raid... OK, it is probably our destiny as a mere th8... But more recently by a simple BAM from the bottom corner. Once the outer layer is out, AQ comes in supported by heal and rage and takes out the DE storage....CC had a drag and few archers, killed by BAM. BK on the far left did not move.... All splash defences maxed, teslas are lvl6. Only archer towers and cannons are not upgraded yet.
Any suggestions?

This is my first defence with this layout. I am using the 1a variation.
A level 3 dragon was in my CC. Furthermore 2 teslas were upgrading. The rest of the base is maxed out, except the most part of my walls.

Orz I saw u stacking DE when u were upgrading ur TH. Mind sharing your DE raiding strategy mate?

For DE farming, I like going to 1700-2000 trophies and using Barch with 1 rage spell, 2 lightnings. Lightning a mortar, then slowly rage your troops towards the DE storage Can easily get to non-centralised DE stores.

I am relatively new to CoC and found your design. I absolutely love it. I have the farming variation and the war base variation. I was defeated in the clan war by 10 lvl 3 dragons... My air defenses arent stellar yet but even with low level stuff... the guy made it out with only 2 barely hanging on dragons. LOVE THIS BASE!!! Great work and thank you for sharing!

I can't wait for your Th9 version of this Orz, I rocked this my last 2 months of TH8. Did excellent.

Your version 2 dominion works really well for me, I had 300k gold that could be taken and the enemy didn't even touch my gold/de. I really recommend it for anyone thats th8. Another great base of yours orz.

Thanks guys

What happened to the Forum name Tempest?

I never had my forum name as Tempest lol :0

Been rn using the base for a week before i finally changed for something new, but I think im gonna get these bad aZZ back coz the looters are driving crazy as to what part of the base are they gonna attack. ) tough to hold a 3 star especially with tough cc troops at the center (im a hard knock clasher) reason why they only loot a part of my resources. And I believe the mortars are there to destroy troops who are clearing up their way before going into the base' walls. The three wizards are triangular and safe i just put my gold in front of 'em as a tanker (wiz will blow a bunch of gobs trying to loot at my tankers) and this is one of the best farming base ive had so far. Thanks for the intelligent base plan orz. )












check us out DATU PUTI u can try applying too. :-)

Cheers for sharing. Glad to know you like it

Would the new update of the heroes have any effect of a new placement for the BK on variation 1a/1b? I'm guessing, if so, a storage would have to hang outside the walls.

That's exactly what I am thinking! It's actually very useful now to centralize the Burger King as he can't be lured anymore. However, putting him in the middle means moving a storage out and that makes the layout look weird.

I'd be very happy if Orz could make a version 1c with a centralized BK though.

If i were to have a centralised BK, I would probably need a complete redesign lol :0
And I'm already TH9
I guess you can always let out your inner base designer and make it happen! :P

Hey Orz, could you possibly show a video of a better attack? I know its a base design thread, where you want to showcase the design, but I would like to see the base stand up to a decent attack. The video on the main page is basically a giant healer archer attack, with an incompetent attacker that could even lure the CC. I don't know about you but that is no way convincing that the base is good.

Thats funny cause that is basically what my post is about. I don't think on any of Orz's base threads does he show the base against a decent attack. You have shown a few examples of where you got wrecked with a similar troop comp to that in the video on the first page. Obviously this base needs to be tested against stronger attacks a bit more.

Well, you see.. The thing is, I don't need to "prove" that my base is good. I design it, give it a few weeks run and I share it with the forums. I fix up mistakes/make improvements. But the thing is, if you are in any way interested in a base, you will test it yourself.

I have no need to "convince" you to use my base. It happens naturally when people are interested in a base design and end up on my thread. Now I'm not being hostile or anything. I'm just saying that there is nothing to "prove".
If people like it, comments and views will slowly add up, which will lead to more interest.

I'll let you know there isn't a base design that is super-awesome-amazing-defend-everything.
So if you have anything else constructive please let me know
But if you are simply on my thread to ask me to "sell" you my base. Then no. A base design sells itself. I don't need to convince you to use it.

Thanks orz, it works very well for me

One day after switching from Shuriken to Dominion "1c" (BK inside), I was attacked by a TH8-fellow.
I lost bad (99%), but curiously DE storage did not fall (timer out).
I'm still convinced this is a great base layout, but it always hard to lose like this against a TH8.
Anyway, here goes the report:

My current layout is a modified Dominion 1b as you can see below. Had one AD and 2 teslas upgrading (reason why they are outside walls). The guy deployed everything from south, initially failing to lure out my CC archers. Then deployed 12 giants lvl 5 + CC giants lvl 6, six wallbreakers, BK and 10 hogs, aided by 3 healing spells. After that came 10 wizards 5* + 1 pekka...

Let's test it a bit more!
