buy more walls

[thekingofgoblins]

Is there some magical base layout with 252 walls that's unbeatable? I don't know how many times I've seen this request for 252 walls, but I really don't get it.

Imagine that the rest of us only get 248 walls, and you need 2 more? Oh wait, you already got those 2. Problem solved!!!

Once you get this supposedly impregnable layout with 252 walls, someone else is going to come up with an even BETTER layout with 254 walls, and then the arms race is on. I've got an impenetrable layout with clever funneling, but it needs 256 walls.

No, wait, someone revised my layout, and added an especially tricky section to slow golems, but it needs 258 walls! Ahhh!!! We need more walls!!!


THis arms race will continue until the PERFECT base layout is achieved, which has walls on every tile of the map that isn't occupied by a building.

Some people just want a 4-way symmetric base at TH9, this is the simplest reason they want 252 walls.

Yeah i think that's one of the reasons. Well then just use 248 walls and it will be a 4-way symmetrical base, then put the extra 2 on the corners, or throw them in the sea, or hide them in the bushes, or tree branches. Id want to put em in the waterfall but SC removed it.
