Creating ObjectivesIn my first post about how to start building a base, the first thing to start with are objectives. I will show an old meta base and talk about the base objectives so you can get an idea of the skeleton of the base. This was probably the first really good base I built. I built it just before the bomb tower update and added the BT to it and it was still ok. It defended 5-6 times against SWElite mys (MCWL) in an AW and 3 times against Bada Bing Clan in a CWL war (and then they burned it https://youtu.be/vcPGxV5C5Ic?t=748 with a pretty four stage attack).
Just looking at objectives, the first major one is the AQ in the north. Decently protected with 3 point defenses and several high hp. Then you have the Tesla Farm way in the south. Very difficult for a kill squad to get both objectives. Now the meta at the time was GoHo variants, hogs were good and had just been buffed with the gb nerf. Tesla farms and AQ are killer to hogs. Additionally, I had the BT to the East with a WT and giant bombs to force a heal. Then in the west, I have more giant bombs paired with WT' and point defenses to make those lethal to hogs as well. Before the gb nerf, a single gb + two small bombs + WT was almost as good as a dgb and can still force a heal now. Air defenses are decently placed for the meta. You have a AD island to defend against HGHB, another meta attack, then sweepers defending the backside AD's and WT out of range of AD's. To build this a base like this, you start with the objectives. I pick a spot for the AQ and Tesla Farm. Then I created more zones lethal to hogs. This forces the attacker to make difficult decisions to attack this base with hogs as there are numerous objectives to accomplish or the hogs will die. Place AD's and sweepers and other attack specific defenses to defend against those. Then fill in the rest of defenses in a balanced manner and walls, traps, and storages and trash. This base has other features and techniques that make it good which I will explain more in the future but hopefully this is enough to help you get started.

How to start building a baseBuilding a base is just like attacking a base, just in reverse. When breaking down a base for an attack, the attacker usually analyzes the base to see which attack style the base is weakest to. This is done by looking at the major objectives and seeing which ones are easiest to achieve. ObjectivesMajor objectives:
This is the reason why you don't often see the Tesla Farm next to the Queen or why you don't see grouped AD's or too many AD's near the Queen, or why you don't put a DBG near the Queen. You want to separate these major objectives as much as possible to make it difficult for the attacker to achieve them. This is often why I put my Tesla Farm on the opposite side of the base from my Queen so it's hard as possible for a KS to get both. Making these objectives hard to achieve helps your base defend against the associated attacks. Start with your major objectives Many base building resources say to start by building the AQ Compartment. I like how Luke says to start with AD defense placement. I think the best place to start is by placing your major objectives in their general location.
Hope this is enough to get you started. Why this?A website on Clash of Clans base building. WebsiteI like text. I can read faster than listening to someone in a video talk on and on. If you don't like it, tough. You can watch all the youtube videos - like all 50 of them and still not know how to build a competitive war base. Then maybe you'll read. Plus I don't know if I want to make videos. I was also inspired and educated by reading the content on this guy: http://akiyume.weebly.com/ I wish he didn't stop, quality content there even after so much time. Base BuildingThere's lots and lots of content out there on attack strategies, how to attack, purpose and reason for each type of troop, war recaps, etc. There's very little content on how to build a good base.
I love building bases. I find pleasure in building a great base that forces multiple attacks or dips. The main purpose is to share information with my base building team and help us build better bases. I also wish to share more information with the public because it seems like base building is top secret, especially at the highest level. While we aren't the best, we compete at the highest level in the CWL so our bases are tested by the best. I hope that the lessons we learn there will translate into better bases and more information for us to help share and improve the base quality for all of Clash of Clans. |
