Introduction to TH16 Progress Bases
With the release of Town Hall 16 (TH16), Clash of Clans has entered a new era and players are rushing to upgrade their bases. One of the layouts you will need the most at this point is a Progression Base. Rather than providing the highest possible defense against a War or Farming Base, a Progression Base is built to upgrade structures. This allows you to be aware of what has been improved, what needs to be taken care of, and how to spend resources effectively.
When a user just upgraded to TH16, a well-designed progress base will help you upgrade quicker, spend less time, and use all available resources to their full potential.
Why a Progress Base is Essential at TH16
Difference Between Progress Bases and War Bases
A battle base is defensive in nature – guarding your town hall and assets against attacks. However, a progress base is not intended to be defensive. It consists of isolated buildings that have already been renovated and those that have not yet been renovated, allowing you to monitor your progress over time.
How Progress Bases Help With Upgrades
TH16 can be overwhelming with the amount of buildings, traps, and walls. A progress base allows you to:
- Follow which defenses are saturated with ease.
- Batching upgrades.
- Fastly identify resource intensive buildings.
- Maintain upgrade efficiency without confusion.
Key Features of an Effective TH16 Progress Base
Organized Upgrade Placement
Divide your base into two zones:
- Upgraded/maxed buildings – well tidied on one side.
- Awaiting upgrades – clustered on the other side.
Easy Resource Management
To be convenient with the storages, put them in the same area where you are able to monitor the levels of the elixir, gold, and dark elixir.
Strategic Storage Distribution
Although progress bases are not defensive, having storages a little dispersed helps prevent the loss of all in one attack.

Even in and of the progress bases, the Town Hall 16 is to take centre stage to demonstrate its significance.
Defensive Structures in Upgrade-Friendly Layouts
Keep cannons, archer towers, and inferno towers neatly in a row–upgraded, on one side, and awaiting upgrades, on the other.
Walls & Traps Setup for Progress Bases
The progress bases normally line up walls separately to follow levels of upgrades clearly. The traps should be also divided into types.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the primary aim of a TH16 progress base?
A TH16 progress base assists you to plan the buildings to be improved and thus it is easy to follow up.
Q2: Can a progress base defend against attacks?
Not really. It is made to be organized rather than to defend. Protect yourself using a discrete war/farming base.
Q3: Do I use an existing progress base on YouTube or should I make my own?
You can do both. Creating your own enables you to be well organized, whereas using a template is less time consuming.
Q4: When should I reorganize my progress base?
Change it with each significant upgrade completed at TH16.
Q5: Can I utilise the same base of progress in farming?
No, the farms are used in defending loot, and progress farms are used to track upgrades.
Q6: What upgrades need to be first priority at TH16?
Laboratory, Clan Castle, and core defenses like Eagle Artillery and Inferno Towers.

A TH16 advanced base is not about defense but about organization and skill. With a nice organization of upgraded and pending buildings, you will stay on top of your upgrades, save resources, and speed up the process of becoming a full-fledged TH16 player.
