May even try out the level 9 version if you dont mind?[/QUOTE]

Why not?

This little Jun is just happy that the foundation of his base layout still works for a th7 base

With my help of course

Big props to Amroll with his TH7 layout, recognized the layout from the DTP guys so thought i would try it.

Fantastic defense, best challenge i've had from TH8 & TH9, totally shocked me!!!

Haha are you stalking our members?! Leave us alone!!

I wanted to discuss the design a little bit. Junliang, I hope you take this criticism well buddy.

The newer version of Junliang's design with the extra 25 walls looks solid. However, as I have suggested to pinser when he wanted to try it, the original/TH7 version is rather ineffective. I ran into one recently, and after ~6 WB's, 9 Giants, with support from archers, trolled right through the middle, followed by goblins to clean up the rest.

- Giant path

Segmenting the center cross/plus-sign might be able to fix this problem, but that will leave the other 4 compartments quite exposed.

Time to change layouts...

This little pokemon never thought of it that way and is crushed

Ahem.

It is a modification of my base which came from yours.

Well big props to whoever made it/revamped it.... its a great base.

Haha sure. But both elixir and gold are important at TH9, especially with 7.5m upgrade cost for archers.
But I guess I can try and make one for TH9, under the assumption that either Gold or Elixir are no longer that important already.

Yup. The original TH8, 200 Wall design of my base had a major flaw of exposed core as explained in my vid and in my 41st TH8 Defense as shown below.



Even after additional 25 walls, Th7 still only has 175, 25 walls short of my original design, and 50 walls short of my current design.
Then again, TH7 isnt that great a TH to defend against the big boys.

The solution I had was to reduce wall usage for elixir(not as impt) compartment, and increase protection for gold compartment. And thats not even including DE storage yet.

I personally say, deal with it, and move on to th8 where the goodies are.
Thats why I don't understand why pinser until now, still stay at TH7.

Its not like there are any goodies at th7 at all.
Loot bonus against th9, great, but you only have level 4 troops man, just move up and stay in th8 longer.
I rather you stay in th8 longer, than staying in th7 longer.

You got a couple typos in your post

But I don't get the "Thats why I don't understand why pinser until now, still stay at TH7."

typing on my iphone, so yeah.

My reasoning is that, as long as you are near maxed th7 with 70% purple wall, just move on to th8 asap. The additional 50 walls, 3rd wiz tower, de drill, 3rd storage should be enough incentive already.
Lv3 de drill produce 1k de per day, imagine how much de you have potentially "lost" by staying at th7 for even 1 day longer.
You stay at th7 for 10 days longer, and you "lost" 10k de = 1 Barb king already.
+50 walls is not a small amount, its a freaking huge jump, and without the other buildings, +50 walls alone is enough to push me off the edge to upgrade th already, especially with the new wb's splash radius, the additional walls needed to stagger the walls is crucial.
3rd storage seems like a pain in the ♥♥♥ to protect, but don't forget, 2 storage means 1 storage = 100k eac. with 3 storage, loss of 1 storage is just 66k only.
66k sounds much nicer than 100k right ?
+3rd storage = harder to protect ? +wiz twr for you then.
At th8, wiz twr gets 2 levels of upgrade, enough to 1hko most troops that are level 5 and below already.

need I say more ?
I personally move to th8 with 100% purple wall, maxed out th7 except collectors, air def and tesla. I can make up for the air def and tesla over at th8, no prob. at low trophy level, my lv4 air def was sufficient anyway.

[pinser]

everything maxed except for: (yes, collectors are maxed)

walls--174 pink walls and 1 grape wall
AD--lv4
tesla--lv1 and 2
BK--lv1
Minion and Mr. T--lv2
Rage spell--lv3
Heal spell--lv3
Balloon--lv3

Opinions? Consider that obviously I can switch elixir storages with gold depending on my needs. At the moment I get defeated exclusively by massive attacks (lev. 5-6 troops, at least 15 giants and usually a couple of dragons) and due to walls issues (only 175 available) I can't get to protect Dark elixir and other resources together. My plans are to max out teslas and either to max out ADs or take them to lev. 4 , then more than 60% of purple walls and only at that point upgrade to TH 8. Sounds good? Oh and the BB king as well, but at the moment is not a top priority

Look at my version of this on page 26. Very similar but with a few notable differences which changes the giants route and also takes then over traps and exposed to more point defensive units. Still true that a decent TH8 player can get into 2 or more storages but so far that has not been happening.

Junliang, I guess by your description I should not delay in moving to TH8 now. One question though. The thing holding me back is the research lab where once Dragons are finished I still need Rage lev 3, Heal Lev 3, Balloons lev 4, Wizards Lev 4. With the 6 days left on Dragons that is 19 days left of research. If I skip all bar Rage and let Dragons finish I can upgrade in 3 days but that would mean the rest will fall behind the level 5 upgrades needed once I hit TH8. Is it still worthwhile to move to TH8 and let the less popular upgrades slide?

[childish]

The biggest problem with this is that all of the eggs are in the middle. Just 4-6 wall breakers and I'm in the center to capture everything you have. Also, your air defense is too exposed.

i appreciate the input, however, as i stated in my original post - just looking for testers to try. constructive criticism is welcomed here, but not needed as i know a TH7 version of any TH8 base will not work the way it is intended. if people like it enough to try. great. if not - no big deal and skip to the next base .

thanks anyways ;p
