Here is my most up-to-date base with considerations taken to concerns about coverages and trap placement. Any new suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Seriously, can you guys please zoom out? Lot easier to view everything at once to decide if its good. Oh and, yard planner like jimbo has if you have it is pretty useful. Any weakness from the top? Looks like thats the main area of weakness according to your yard planner. Nothing of importance as far as I can see though. @fireforce9 Getting better. I think the biggest weakness is the bottom now. Oh and, what do you have in the monster bunker? I hope it won’t get destroyed – all monsters die when the bunker’s destroyed, so be careful.

Instead of posting my defenses (which I think are decent, but with only town hall 4 I have a bit of wall envy whenever jimbo posts a picture.) I thought I’d do something a little different and post how NOT to defend your yard.  As you can see this player decided to attack me this morning. Though it looks like 2 aborted attacks. Neither report contained any info and there were no new blood splatters on my lawn. Maybe he only flung in sticks for damage then decided to not send any monsters, but you would think I would get a damage report then. I am wondering if only viewing the players lawn may signal an “attack”. Or maybe he just clicked the attack button instead of view. Twice. Well maybe I will go test this defensive scheme out.

# Results Well I learned a bunch about attacking now ;) Mainly what I learned is my monsters were even stupider than I thought… when bunker monsters are released they continue attacking whichever tower they are hitting until the defenders were already hitting them. The monster bunker was massively successful on defense as it contained 19 ichis and I was not willing to throw away 100k sticks just for a small return. And because of my attacking strategy. I had been successful against NPCs by tossing in 3-4 ichis in a group to suck up a lot of booby trap damage then toss in the last dozen to kill the towers, unfortunately this very plan seems very week vs. the bunker. Since this thread is about base construction I will also point out that the center had nice overlapping fields of fire but the outlying buildings were under protected in my opinion. Just a few pokeys were able to destroy the 2 monster houses (killing many ichis in the process) and the resource buildings in the south. Without walls it was too easy to get my monsters close enough to do decent damage before the towers could react. The result of the attacks is I received about 10k of each resource from destroying the harvesters in the south as I did not kill any silos. I am also no longer at my goo cap which is fine with me. I also appreciate the ichis on defense more and have made some adjustments accordingly. They may not be able to take down the faster units like bolt but they are weak enough to die to a tower shot or 2 anyway.

Thanks for your valuable insight. I was wondering, can the shooter towers (sniper and cannon) hit air targets or is it only the aerial defense tower that can do it. Also if you put flying monsters in the bunker can they strike at ground creatures with no fear of reprisal?

Not the smartest idea… I suggest moving it more towards the center, and don’t have your base in fragments spread out throughout the area. The key to a good base is to have it as a whole, with tower coverage around the base as much as possible.

Reorganized my base ;o 

 This is a variation I came up with based on jimbos, I call it the turnip of doom. once my lv6 th finishes i plan on adding the extra blocks out in the open to increase flinger engagement distance.

Nah, jk it’s actually somewhat flattering.

jimbo: your dense collection of sniper and cannon towers immediately makes me think “catapult”. A couple of catapult shots could take down a lot of those and leave you vulnerable.

A couple of catapult shots could take down a lot of those and leave you vulnerable. Whoa, totally forgot about that. Still, that’s pretty powerful collection of towers.

Why the heck do you need Photoshop? Use MS Paint. Here’s how you do it. Get the map screenie…then: Open another MS Paint window. Open yard planner. Screenshot it (aka printscreen) Crop it to only have the part of the yard planner. Copy it. Close MS Paint window, open the window with your base. Paste it in somewhere suitable (not blocking view of base). Upload it. Honestly, some people can be pretty dumb on the internet. People should already know how to screenshot.

 As I get stronger I plan on adding more, stronger blocks to the wall, adding random ones outside to attract eye-ra’s, and adding more defensive buildings. Thoughts? Sorry it’s so big :(
