Basic Defense Tactics
Basic tactics for newbie, starting player who have no idea how to place buildings

1) Don’t let attacker get inside for free!
Each of your buildings and Walls (except Hidden Tesla and decorations) has one space around the building that prevents attacker troops to be deployed. This temporarily displays by white line when you move any buildings or Walls. Therefore, don’t make any hole inside your base by separating any buildings more than 2 spaces apart.

Attacking troops will be simply deployed inside the base!

2) Center of the map is your best friend!
You cannot place any buildings in green grass area around the village but attacker can deploy troops, so don’t build your base at the corner or edge of the map.

Believe me, you don't want to learn this the hard way!

3) Use Walls to slow down attacker!
Surround your village or important buildings by Walls. Basic melee unit like barbarians and goblins need to attack Walls before reaching your precious building.

Not a perfect layout, but a decent one to start with!

4) Know you defense range!
Each defense building has its own range. For example, clicking on the Mortar show white circle of 11 space radius determining area the Mortar can cover and shoot, while 4 radius of red circle show blind area that Mortar cannot shoot. Always check defense coverage area to make sure the area cover what you want to protect.

Mortar can shoot within 4-11 tiles between red and white circle
