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. |
