I've recently spawned up to town hall 8 and need your constructive criticism and advice on improving my war base.
I have used the tempest base designed by Orz as a starting point and have tried out a few tweaks. I wasn't too happy with the original designs ability to channel in giants deployed above the half-way line and have opened up the top to attract visitors to the spring traps, among some other tweaks.
In the last clan war I was totally annihilated but didn't feel too bad, I was flooded with 20 level 3 hogs, dragons and cleaned up with maxed wizards in a very well coordinated attack by a town hall 9 or 10. I was last to be attacked and think it was a star hunt by their #4 (I was #8 in my clan).... As I say, not many bases could have dealt with the attack - but I've moved the big bombs to better positions now in anticipation of the next war and hopefully will dent another hog attack!
Since this war I've done plenty of upgrades, my builders are ready to go on strike. The AD at 6 o'clock has a couple of days left to get to level 4, and because I think it's a critical unit I won't stop until level 6. My wizard towers are now all level 4 and archer towers level 8, and have two mortar units to go before they are all level 6 fireball throwers.
What are your thoughts, are there any glaring weaknesses and where would you suggest I tweak? I am seriously thinking of swapping the DE drill in the 6 o'clock partition with the gold storage at 3 o'clock just to keep dragons busy for longer while the wizards, archers and AD do their work, or swapping it with the DE storage which should attract lightning spells away from the AD and mortars?
You should incorporate a double giant bomb spot into your base to defend against hogs. The giant bombs are currently useless where they are right now. A good spot would be right under your top wizard tower. When the wizard tower dies, hogs will target the mortar and get hit with a double giant bomb trap, killing all of them.
