Bowser 8 - Master of Puppets - Adaptable Farm and Defense Layout for Town Hall 8

[BigC217]

I hope this works. I'm attempting to attach my logs for this base. I've had one attack for 84%. It was a th9. So far, I'm really happy with this layout! I've made some educated guess from your pics on where the traps where. And have played around with the the third ad placement and third wiz tower. If this works I'll post a pic of my layout...

Thanks for sharing, and by all means feel free to give your feedback on the base - with logs if possible.

Here is my most current setup for bowser... More to show where I've got the wizard towers, AD, and cannons. If yall look at the original post and all the different pics you'll see that even the designer is moving these items around a little bit. And yes, the south end would be a/the weak spot. Just this morning I was raided from the south end. B/c of the loot % system i didnt lose to much...

I've posted a couple of variations for those who feel the south is a weakspot, and in my updated log of 26 I shared some examples of South defense, happy to do a separate post on this if people are interested. But as you've noted, and as noted in the title and OP this design is open to adaptation. I've tried numerous variations myself and still mix it around depending on what I have upgrading - so feel free to share your versions and I'll give feedback.

2 more attacks in G1...in both I had 1 archer tower, 1 tesla (outer ring), 1 wizard tower, and my barb king upgrading. Clan castle full with mostly lvl5/6 archers and a few lvl5 wizards.

Th9 49% - 10 lvl6 giants, 8 wbs, 10 goblins, rest barb and archer. 1 rage spell. No Heroes! Got into the core barely. Came away with about a third of my storages including some goblin nibbling of my DE. Not too bad, but got into the core for some storages without heroes. Attacked from the north.

Th9 100% 3 star - 23 lvl6 giants, lvl7 BK, lvl5 queen, 1 rage, 1 heal. Rest barch. Attacked from the south. Used rage to move giants/heroes to core without wall breakers. This is the kind of middling attack I think a good base can make a difference with. At least make them bring something bigger than gibarch+low heroes to get everything. Perhaps I just have too many defenses down/too low defenses to expect much of any base yet against th9s.

PS - I tend have a lot of loot on hand so I will attract attackers. I plan to have 1 builder free every day but I can't always farm directly before they free up so I will have a lot of loot on hand at times. I dump loot into walls all the time but when push comes to shove I'd rather not waste builder time and keep 5 builders busy at the risk of losing 300,000 of each. I can farm that back in a matter of minutes but I'd prefer to keep it if possible

Thanks for sharing and thanks for using Bowser8

BigC,

Thank you for your generosity in sharing this layout. I sent you a PM requesting your guidance on trap placement. Thanks again for your help. I am very impressed with this base design.

Thanks for the feedback, I've filled the trap request.

Hey BigC. First time poster here (be gentle lol.) I've looked at your base a few times now and passed over it, thinking this isn't going to work. But reading all the posts and seeing the defense logs, I'm going to give it a try. Could i get the trap placements please? Thanks

Shipped let us know how you go.

I also sent a PM for trap placement, waiting your reply, thanks

got to this one too, let me know if you have any troubles.

Thanks everybody for your requests and comments to date. We've passed the 100 PMs sent mark now, and I'm considering making a few trap variations public, that way you won't have to request and attackers won't know which variation you are using (only the hidden components will change.) Feel free to give me your feedback either publicly or via PM if you have a strong opinion on the subject.

More importantly, keep sharing your logs!!!

BigC

Can I have the trap placement for war?

The south is an absolute weakness, a guy with 10 WB and all barch TH8 with barb king broke through and totalled my base with 3 x heal spells. im off this base.

I've been using this base and had the same prob with attacks from the bottom. I ended up moving some walls from sides to add additional wall inside, so the core is now a square (almost - the bottom of the square juts a bit). So far attacks from bottom have gone better.

Why haven't you posted the trap placement? You should always post it, yet you haven't. Any reason?

He explained that on the last page:

DokuganR - this is my second ever thread. Look at the amount of effort I put into developing the layout, creating the trap placement, writing an extremely detailed post, and responding to replies and PMs and updating my OP. Do they seem like the actions of someone genuinely trying to create a good layout and share it with others, or someone who is after bumps? Also from a logical point of view, if it is a good design and people like it why shouldn't it naturally sit at the top? The specific reason is I do not want the users of bowser8 - myself included to be disadvantaged by revenge and war enemies to know where the traps are - unless of course they are b8 users themselves.

Didnt see that...

Looking to give this a try. At first glance it doesn't seem too troublesome, but after reading the comments, I am convinced! Could you PM me the trap placement for both the WAR and FARMING bases please. Also great job on the base and all the info!
