I saw an awesome layout from a guy I saw in the global. I let him know I had to copy it (with a few modifications to make it a farming base). Please check out my base...it has been the best layout I've had so far.
Search "All Business" and look at KJ.
TH is outside and I alternate what to put in the dead center. Usually if I have about 18K in Dark Elixir or more, I put my dark in the center. Otherwise I put the clan castle in the middle. The cc cant be drawn unless you get within the walls on any side (if cc is in the middle).
