Help! How to keep your gold?

[Sarhaszi]

Been a whole since i added images in a forum i hope i do this right...

This worked for me for a while, it might have been the low trophy count, but they seemed to path around the collectors and being divided into 4 sections they usually only get 1 or sometimes 2 (but that was rare) leaving at least half intact.

now i use this one that works better for higher trophies and leaves some room for when you level your TH to 7

im at TH6 too, but im THE CoC expert. you need to build an air defense first. second, you ned to build a little box of walls (at least lvl 5) an put your storages, mortars, TH, air defense, and cc in the middle. after that, put all of your collectors and arch towers/cannons in a larger box of walls surrounding the essential stuff. leave everything else outside walls. place traps in the open spaces where wbs are likely to strike. hope it helped.

Can you show me a layout picture for better understanding? I'm confused

Here's what I would do if I were you (and I'm still doing it now)...
I'm a TH8 with 100% skull walls, still having a bit of towers left before getting to TH9.

My main priority was always GOLD. Elixir is too easy to collect.

When my walls were not maxed (for the current TH level)
- Raid and aim to get just the gold
- Keep yourself within the comfortable range, where you find easy to get 150k-200k gold per raid
- Spend most of your gold for walls
- Always keep 1 builder available for upgrading walls
- When a building upgrade is almost done, make sure you save enough gold for the next upgrade (stop walls upgrading for now). For example, if I know my next Canon upgrade costs 1.5m gold, and my next available builder is in 9 hours, I will stop upgrading walls when there's around 3 hours left on the builder, and start saving up 1.5m gold.
- Make sure when you raid, you do it in sessions, like 2-3 hours session (around 8-12 raids in a row), without logging off. You don't have to stay at your ipad or iphone. Just don't turn CoC off. Plug in the recharge cable if you will. This way, you will get 2-3m per session, and no loss since you are always online during the session
- Make sure that you use as much resources as you can before you log off. Use gold for the walls, always leave your storages low on resources before you log off. If you can't, just make sure to have a good layout to protect your hard work. If you get raided and lose 200k, it's still ok since you get 2-3m per session, 200k isn't a lot, plus you'll get a shield.
- Put your TH outside of the base, free shield

When my walls have been maxed:
- I keep all my builders busy, and save up resources for the next upgrade. Simple as that.
- Put TH outside for free shield

Let me know if this works out for you

It seems people have already given valuable input, but good luck OP.

sorry im using my kindle and i cant attach pics

When I was TH6 I used a box within a box design, with the inner box separated into two compartments. The outer box held non splash defences and most of the collectors and it was amazing how many goblins and giants just went around in a circle without ever getting my storages. I am not sure how the design will perform since the last update though, as there was a bug in the wallbreakers AI that made them widen the hole rather than open the inner compartment when I was using it.

thats what my layout is and it doesnt work. when the gobs take out the collectors around the hole made by wbs, they will swarm into the inner compartment if wbs open that up, too. the giants destroy my splash defenses, too so they basically cripple my bas too easily.
