Hey guys,

I'm just upgrading to TH8 so am looking for a good layout to use for farming.

After reading many threads and looking at a lot of your design's I've made this base design and wondered what people thought.

In my opinion, if you have just upgraded to TH8 you want a design that doesn't incorporate the defenses that you will be upgrading. Your base will have weak spots if you designed it to include every defense. Have a look at my Early Eight Farm to get an idea of how to design with upgrading defenses in mind. As a new TH8 I would want to have a builder upgrading mortar, wizard tower, tesla, and air defense. Choose what you want to be upgrading and base your design around that.

Early Eight Farm

Once your mortar and wizard towers are maxxed then you switch to a design which will incorporate all 3 of each.

Nice looking base! Especially with nearly full storages!

I would recommend switching BK with air defense that is near it. If the AD near your DE storage is taken out by lightning I don't think your TH will be well covered. In my opinion it is worth the tradeoff of exposing BK more.

@sfergusond : at your cup range if you are online most of the time there's little to worry about. I find interesting the two funneling that lead to the center core, but since the hidden Tesla won't pop-up on it's own unless some unit get's in it's range all that funneling it's next to useless. If you want it to work then place a defense in there, but it will still not work as there are other defenses in front of it and would attract giants attention prior to that and by the time would get their attention would be too late.

Anyway, what I would do? Enlarge the space where you have the two hidden Tesla and put on a mortar on one side (East), a wizard tower on the (West) and another wizard tower in the air defense place that's above the BK. Until would get the 3rd air defense to level 6, I would place the two I have in elixir storage place and use the elixir storages to lure attacks on two opposite sides in range of enough defenses.

I'm not a fan of the 2x2 cell core cos the CC isn't centered and easily to lure out, and I guess there's no point on commenting on the level of walls.

Thanks for the tips, I did a little rearranging with the funnels and defenses. You can take a look at it (clan: Prototype, IGN: sfergusond). I also made another base that I plan to test out in a few days. I know that it has a few too many X-junctions, but I think it's fine other than that. Here is the link: http://clash.zuuga.com/map568

As you said it does have too many junctions, other than that all your gold is on the right side. Maybe swap the bottom gold storage and the bottom elixer storage?

I did debate about where to put the storages, but I decided to put both gold storages on the right because that is most protected area according to the heatmaps. I think I'll wait to decide on things like that until I actually get attacked.

I've found that including even one tesla in your "inner core" can be extremely useful in stopping wallbreakers. the limited range (shown above) of your tesla actually works in your favor if you center the tesla as it will generally snipe only wallbreakers (who tend to rush ahead of other troops) and not focus on other troops, who are likely focused on other structures.

i'm sure that as soon as i make this post, someone will break into my core. but so far, i've not had one wall breaker successfully attack my core, thanks to my internal tesla(s).

I'm glad you made the switch. I was getting ready to send you a PM as I took a snapshot of your base prior to this and ask what was going on cuz I couldn't quite understand some of the things you had setup ;/

I thought your trophy push was 6/14-6/17 - did you guys start this weekend?
