The original idea, carefully restored
Classic layouts. Better context.
The original Top COC Bases organized free layouts without surveys or noisy detours. This revival preserves that spirit, documents what was recovered, and separates historical advice from current-game claims.
Straight answers
Before you build
Are these current competitive bases?+
No. This is a clearly labeled 2020 archive and learning resource. Game balance has changed, so use the layouts to study base-building ideas and test every choice in your own replays.
Why does the library stop at Town Hall 13?+
Town Hall 13 was the highest Town Hall when the original site was active in 2020. Keeping that boundary makes the archive historically honest.
Do the old copy links still work?+
Some recovered official layout links may have expired. Every link is labeled as an original 2020 link, and each page includes enough placement guidance to rebuild or adapt the idea manually.
Is Top COC Bases official?+
No. This is an independent fan-made strategy site and is not endorsed by Supercell.
Is the Layout Lab a Clash of Clans game or simulator?+
No. It is an original abstract guide app for practicing spacing, coverage, and path-shaping. It does not use Supercell assets, reproduce combat, connect to an account, or predict in-game results.
