A video guide describing and detailing the optimal base layout as a Town Hall 7 player in Clash of Clans. Best trophy and war setups are discussed later in this video. Thanks and credit to original poster/creator Heizenburg, who posted this layout on the Supercell forums (http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/207442-The-Mantis-a-TH7-Variation-of-The-Tempest). I loved the wall layout, picked it up and moved the towers and other structures to my liking, with rational for the moves and placement detailed in the video. The purpose of this farming defense setup is to protect the Dark Elixir storage above all other structures. It is very hard to access the Dark Elixir Storage without clearing a significant portion of this base (which does happens sometimes at TH7 - eventually you will run into a TH8 that uses a full set of spells, or dragons or hog riders). For the most part, it will keep your Dark Elixir safe and you will lose at most 2 storage buildings on most raids. A lot of times you will also get a free shield when people snipe the Town Hall. War and Trophy variations for this base are discussed later in the video.
