Check out my current build. My idea is that the small moat around the middle will not only unstealth theives but also slow down attackers because they have to stop and do the jump animation into the water and then the animation for coming out of the water. My only question is if it's.
Gotta check it out. Its either that or an iPad Btw, tell me if your base setup works later ok? If it does, it could be very effective since units have to do their animations as you mentioned.
Remember though, you can only drop attacking troops in water. By adding a moat through your island, surely you're just bringing the high level targets closer to the enemy troops. Can't deny it does look good though
haha I actually met someone just a minute ago that had this kind of base. I could put my troops in the gap, so.. not so effective. I think the best thing would be to make the island huge, so that it will be harder for enemy plunderers to target the building they want to attack. For example I always make sure I attack the mortars first with my brutes. It will be harder to target them if the island is bigger.
As long as it has waters you can drop your troops there. Pretty well balanced layout you got there man!
I think I have a way to make a moat work technically. If you could make the distance from the closest building on the outside of the moat closer than the inside it should work in pulling the troops onto the outer ring than back through the moat the get to your actual base. You could do this simply by putting decor on the outside of your walls and try to make the outer ring out of buildings only. I suggets using the tavern, academy, guild hall, builders huts, ect....
Yes that will work as the troops will destroy your buildings on the outer circle. But. -They will have no problem destroying those buildings because it is impossible to protect them -The enemy troops will only lose a little time if the attack is coordinated well. (I would first drop a small amount of troops that take care of a couple buildings in the outer ring and then drop the majority of my troops who will head to the main base) -The enemy will lose no troops by destroying those building, so free % for him and more chance he get's at least the 50% star
yeah I see what you mean by an easy 50% star but than again most player only really portect resources defenses and pirate halls. most people including myself put atleast 30% of there buildings on the out side just like with clash of clans. you just don't have enough defensive building to defend all of them
I put my other buildings adjacent to the wall, that way they are still protected. My mortars can cover all my buildings. And all my cannons togheter too
