Let's see some Base Layouts!

[Azeroth]

To be honest, i didnt really focus on defending in Iron Age but I think its pretty good for your age. I also have my catapult centralized now surrounded with wall because most attackers prioritize it(Advancing to medieval tommorow so Im gonna need to change the layout)

 

[KingMatt]

Thanks! Yeah I may not need to worry too much about it down here but I plan on doing a lot of raiding once the mills and markets are maxxed out. Plus, no clue how long it'll take me to advance so figured I should put forth an effort to protect what I can

Couldn't squeeze full base into a screen but here's the meat

That's a pretty good looking base for iron age. At 201 medals you should be able to repel lots of attacks.
One improvement you can consider is to upgrade all your walls and gates to max.
Another thing is there are some gaps between your buildings, like next to the farm.
Close those gaps otherwise troops just go through them straight to the wall.
I try to surround my roads/walls completely with buildings so attackers have to spend time destroying the outer buildings first, buying me more time to send out garrisons.

Thanks wooly, appreciate the feedback and the tip. I'll try to close up the gaps if I can. Not sure if it's possible in iron, though. Really, though, great tip! I'll def keep that in mind on future base builds.

Btw, I've been a big clasher the past cpl yrs. Is maxxing before upping age import here? Seems like it would be, but in boom beach it's not. Thanks again!

just got medievel and built this for sh.. and giggles

This is my updated layout right before I maxxed out iron age. Wooly, thanks for the tips, they definitely helped. All is now closed up except for 1 tiny corner. I put a bunch of trees there to hide it haha. The road network is the same as it was before, 160%, which is all but 4 bldgs connected. Upgrade to classical age has begun and all that's left to max here is the storehouse, which will be done well before the town center finishes. Looking forward to seeing what the classical age brings! Keep the designs coming, guys! It's great seeing what others are doing.

see that open wall section on the left? I'd recommend something similar in any base... it completely frustrates the attacker AI

This is my base currently in the middle of the Iron Age. My catapult's range extends to the outskirts of every building including TC, my garrisons's range covers nearly my whole base including the outer walls. I've fortified and am extending my fortifications by upgrading weakpoints in my walls(areaa not covered by range but are covered by garrisons. So far it's worked great, no one has dared to attack me in the 4 days I've been without a treaty.

My medieval base

 

[HarlequinLord]

my base design, it has stayed the sa me since classical just expanded from top down and rebalanced as ive gotten more buildings, notice iv tried to keep everything balanced defensively.

 

[aleksej94]

it takes 4 days to complete town center for medieval, so you dont need to max all before starting, because you have 4 days more to do it

 

[spasabg]

What do you thing guys?

 

[FirelordJoelle]

This is my base layout. I owe it to David Pasquinel. He calls it the merry-go-round. It is extremely helpful that my balista is in the middle. It's basically my best defense. I need to put walls to defend it though. This base is pretty great because since I've had it, people haven't gained more then 3 stars in battle. I've also not been attacked since yesterday night.

My village before BHG destroyed it last week .
