Building shitty Ameoba Bases is Better than Youtube Bases. Traditional large bases are formulaic, sure, they have the most protection value for resources spent, but it is always fairly predictable where the loot is.
Building like this always results in getting raided less, and people spending more on your base than they otherwise would. After having the displeasure of raiding this monstrosity a wipe ago, I build like this, and I have never seen people spend more rockets for so little before. Traditional bases almost never go beyond their posted raid cost, because the loot is in the same place, but with a base like this, the raid cost might be 20 rockets, but guess wrong and you are going to spend 40.
