Erothix - Hey there! Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, unfortunately once your bombs and/or site mines have been triggered it diminishes the effectiveness of the base somewhat. I wish the traps and bombs only needed to be reset every 3 triggers like some other games, but that's not how they do it on CoC. Also, it's worth mentioning that when a higher level player who fancies themselves to be good at raiding, sees a base with a boatload of gravestones around it from previous failed attempts, it's a challenge to try and take it, even if the resources they stand to gain do not warrant it for their level in the game. By the fifth time you got hit, anyone who came across it went one of two ways, either they figure if it's that hard to take, look for an easier target, or, Oh yeah, I gotta try and take this one if it's that though. One of the little idiosyncrasies of the game psychology.
Thanks for letting me know how you found me. We have just started a new Promote Your Plan Forum, and it hasn't had time to catch on yet. I was the first one to post my stuff on there, and I'm waiting to see how long it takes for someone to mention they got to me from there.
REALLY appreciate the five stars man, keeping in the first couple of pages is tough with all the new plans coming in, and some rating system problems with a few users who are not so scrupulous.
My TH6 plan is available in two versions, the original one, and a v2.0 which was designed to resist Barcher attacks. The original is a "Ghost" base, it ONLY appears on my My Plans page which you get to by clicking on my name in the Badge at the left. It does not appear on ANY of the ratings pages, or anywhere else for that matter. I recommend starting out with the original, and then switching to the v2.0 after you are around half way or more upgraded, or if you start getting killed by Barcher attacks, although I think that trend is staring to fade again a little bit. The reason for the switch from one to the other, ironically, is that the v2.0 is actually so intimidating to TH6 attackers that you get hit by pretty much ONLY TH7 and higher level attackers, and it needs to have most of the defenses upgraded to hold out against that strong of an attack. I have toyed with the idea of trying to actually make it look easier, but I haven't been able to visualize anything I think would work without compromising it's strength.
My TH7 layouts ROCK! They are definitely the cream of the crop. I am using a TH7v2.0 on one of my accounts right now that is less than 50 trophies away from Crystal League (450 free gems), with the only attacking it's done having been to skim Mines and Collectors on revenge raids, which actually lost me trophies.
I am actually excited for you, this level, and the next two, are my absolute favorite levels of the game.
Thanks again, have fun, and Clash On!

Erothix - HI! Welcome aboard the Pure Defense train, You're gonna love it. I really appreciate the vote of confidence, and the explanation as to why, that was great, Thank You! I really hate the guys who can't stand constructive criticism, it's not helpful to anyone. Sometimes the criticism is just uninformed, and you can explain yourself, sometimes it's just malicious, and you ignore those, or have a Moderator remove it if it's completely non-constructive AND abusive. And sometimes, once in a while, (I test my bases pretty thoroughly first), someone comes up with a new problem, or better yet, a new problem WITH a solution, (I really love those), and you make the necessary changes. You would be foolish not to, the game changes over time, not just "physically" with updates that add new items etc., but also psychologically, as different attack strategies trend at different levels. For example, the latest trend was "Barcher" attacks, (Barbarians and/or Archers in mass), which prompted me to create a couple of new bases on a couple levels to compensate. Anyone who doesn't keep up with their feedback is simply not doing the best job they can for the people using their plans. I have some issues that occasionally keep me out of commission for a few days, but my typical response time is 24 hours or less.
I am pleased you are starting out with my TH5 base, as that is one of my particular favorites, and I always have fun when I use it. You sound like an intelligent considered and thoughtful person yourself, and I look forward to hearing back from you on how you like the plan. I guess I don't need to tell you to feel free to contact me, and I sincerely hope you enjoy the plan, and be sure and give me high ratings whenever you can if you like them, it's really hard to stay up in the ratings these days. In fact, I would really like to know how you found me, so if you get the chance, drop me a comment and let me know, OK?
Thanks again, and Clash On!

-dAr - Thanks for checking in! I answered your question below of course, but I wanted to say thank you for giving me the numbers... 66% of the time is doing just fine! Thanks again, and if you need anything else, let me know!

richyrw - That is indeed the quickest route to the TH, but it IS pretty well covered with defenses, including the Wizard Tower, which is your best defense against Giants (or any heavy troop) at this level of the game. I tried to keep the WT in the center because it is such an important defense, and at that point, you need your Storages and TH placed as close to it as possible. After a great deal of experimenting, I found this layout worked the best, the most number of times, and playing the odds is what this plan is about. Hope that explains my thinking! Thanks for commenting, and Clash On!

wizard of power - Hey, Thanks for letting me know, and welcome aboard! Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been out of commission for a few days. Please check back in occasionally and let us know how it's going for you. Also, feel free to ask if you need anything, or if you have any comments or suggestions.

Shawn Dodge - Sorry, I was out of commission for a while, but I really appreciate you taking the time to check in. Thank you so much for the kind words. It's good to hear that it is working well for you, and you're very welcome. You're taking the time to check in and let everyone hear another success story is thanks enough for me! I hope you'll check back occasionally, and thanks again for the great comment!
Wired Fuzzy

SJOEE - Hey man, I am so glad you are still with me, I wasn't sure if you were using my TH5 or not! I am glad it worked out for you. Thanks for the thumbs up vote, hopefully that translated into 5 stars on the rating, as I could use it! :-)
Thanks again for checking in, showing your support, and sharing your results here. I hope to hear from you again soon.
Wired Fuzzy

Sereneth - Hi! Thanks for the comment and support! In my opinion, 40-49% is ideal, as you get BOTH trophies, and a shield. I am very glad to hear it's working for you, and saving you resources. Please check back in periodically, and let us know how it's going, I always love to hear from the folks using my plans.
Thanks again for the kind words and support, and of course, Clash On!

NOTE TO EVERYONE... The brand new, much improved TH6 v2.0 Pure Defense Base by Wired Fuzzy has just gone live. WAAAYYYY better protection from the increasingly common Barcher attacks! Try it, You'll like it!
And, as always, please give me a 5 star rating if you haven't already, (you can always lower it later if you hate it), to keep the "rating rats" from chewing away at it with 1 star ratings to raise the ratings on their own bases, until it gets buried on page 50, and no one who could use it ever gets to see it.
THANKS YET AGAIN to EVERYONE for the continued support, and CLASH ON!
Wired Fuzzy

Amir H. - HI! Well, because I was so slow getting back to you, it's been almost 2 weeks now. Hows it going? Well, I hope. Please check back in and let us know. It makes me happy to know you are glad to use it, and you are very welcome! That thanks is all I ever asked for. CLASH ON!
Wired Fuzzy

XxswaggerxX22 - You've come to the right base! Welcome aboard the Pure Defense Train! You will win defenses if you follow the plan for sure. Please check back in and let us know how your doing with it, OK? Those comments from people just like you, are what lets people see this is for real, and not just another run of the mill base plan. Thanks for your support, and taking the time to comment.
Wired Fuzzy

Sorry for not responding to my comments, I have been having medical problems for 4 days or so. Should be back to answering comments in a day or two. Thanks for your patience.
Wired Fuzzy

NOTE to ALL, just so there is no further confusion, I have this base laid out so that the bottom right corner on this plan coincides with the bottom point or corner on the Clash of Clans screen. When I refer to or show something as the "bottom right corner" here, I mean the bottom corner on the game, and conversely if I show something in or talk about the "top left corner" for example, I mean the top corner or point on the game screen.
Wired Fuzzy

Hack and Slash - Thank you so much for your comments and ratings on my bases, I left a longer note for you on my TH7 base.
Wired Fuzzy

Just thought I should let everyone know that I have corrected the plan for the TH3 Pure Defense Base by Wired Fuzzy. The plan shown is once again my actual plan! If everyone wouldn't mind, please check it out and rate it (and the rest of my bases) if you have a few extra moments... I need to get everyone aware that this is a series of bases, not isolated plans, and I need to get the good ratings in order to get the word out.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR TERRIFIC SUPPORT... you have made these bases something out of the ordinary with all of your community participation and factual feedback.
YOU GUYS ROCK!
