Before I start, I would like to say thank you for my first donator/ the individual who 'sponsored' these guides, W.K.C. (initials just in case this person wants privacy), thank you for the generous donation. My photoshop program 1 year subscription has ended now, so I have to pay for it (I only like photoshop, free ones don't work as well with me/missing functions), and it helps pay for a renewal for this month :P. Seeing the small comments, and as well as that donation really motivates me and supports me to write these guides.
School started now! So now I won't has as much freedom to write as much as I wanted to (sadly), but that won't prevent me from writing, I still got alot of things to write about. I'm still writing up my series that will go on, but it has alot of planning and thinking to do when it comes to expressing what elements to include and what to explain, but for now I present to you 3 Guides that I have been working on for the past week.
Also if you aren't sure which guide/what guides are up to date and wish to see the date-of-release and the status of the guides I have written (whether it's New, Current, Usable, Outdated, Old], then please check out the thread:

Now for the guides:
Air Sweeper Placement is under the [Buildings] Sub-topic, and the Considerations are placed in the [Base Creating] subheadings. I'll probably add alittle more extra information later on to them as I feel like there are somethings that haven't been included. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the support!

Additional Note on Matty's Plagiarized Farm Base, Arcanum, which was Entered into Clash with Ash's Contest
Alittle something that disturbed me when I was browsing my fun area (Base Design 101], is the fact that a fellow Base (farm) Base Builder, Mattyy has had his base, Arcanum TH9 Farm Base, plagiarized and submitted to the [Top 5 Farming Base] by Clash with Ash, and the base won first place, BUT was under another person's name. In the comment section, clearly this person admits that he submitted a base that his clan member created which is still bad under that context as well.
"o my gosh i got first place! "
"Actually my friend showed me the base, and does it really matter, I didn't even win anything! "
Yes it does matter when base designers although, when they post it for the public, they want the base to good for the people, but when it's under another person's name and no one would know, that just sucks. If you have created a movie, and it has been acclaimed as "best of the year", but then some guy named Michael Bayle (:P) was credited, although you would be happy that your movie has done well, it doesn't sit well with the creator.
When it comes to base design, it's free to use of course, you can't stop people from copying, but when you take credit for something you didn't do and even entered it into a contest, that is wrong. For when I write my guides, and although there are so many bases that people have shown me, I always go and ask the clan/the person for their permission to use (for example Monica) or if I published their base without telling them a)I'm revealing their secrets which they might not want that fame b)I am providing information like I was the one who made it, which does not sit well with me. So for those that take bases from others, there is alot of grey zones which I admit, you can use it to explain things, or use it for your own personal private usage, but know your limits to how much you can take, because using it is fine, but spreading it under your name is wrong.

Contest It was Entered: https://youtu.be/rNYWPvp7E6k
Although there really is nothing that can be done now that the video is out, and there wasn't really any 'reward', but just want to show awareness to appreciate base designers as they are a small breed, and the ones that create good bases for the public are even more rare, so they needs to be appreciated. Hopefully Ash can correct this or somehow fix it....

Some Banter Material, Small Discussion On Clash with Ash's "Top 5 War Bases" Video
P.S: Just for Banter, I can't believe a Base like these won "Best TH9 War Base" contest XD. Cracked me up so hard when I saw these bases (other than #2). I feel you readers have enough experience with war bases by now to understand why most of these bases are NOT good bases (at least the first base). Although I'm not hating on Ash, it's so funny to see how much understanding they have when it comes to actual base designing :P. If you want to have a laugh, read below and see XD.

#5 by King's Cave from Clan Prevas Legion: Look at those Giant bomb + single Giant bombs, they have holes in the base XD.... So symmetrical.... Much Spring trap usage... wow...
#4 Crimson From Team Austria: It would have been a good war base half a year ago, pre-air sweeper area. But now this base is outdated, and it follows the point 5 of my[War Base Reality Check].
#3 Base by Dustin B. I actually have a base that's similar to this, I'll post it later on. This base does a good attempt with making the Queen island, Queen/AD 70-30 ratio, and has good DGB location. Springs are at decent locations, and there is a single seeking air mine beside the Queen to hit dragon. This base although I won't say it's the best, or it is up to the scrimmage/elite levels anymore, it does a good job trying to keep up with the meta.
#2 by Brad: This base actually feels alittle more better, and alittle more balanced when it comes to follow the concepts and creating a base that would qualify to be used at the elite levels. South side is alittle empty, and most traps are located in the north so that could be a problem.

Drum Roll..... for Base #1...
#1! by Slurmp
This base doesn't have good DGB pathing at all, you can see how much wasted walls is being used on the right side, Queen can be grabbed by along side 2 ADs. That AD/ArcherTower/Wiz/Gold Storage is just asking to be Quad-Quaked, also the fact that is the same section side in the core, and in the DGB by AS location. Small bombs aren't being used properly, springs traps are on the outside? This base would confuse attackers, but overall it's a messy base.
