I am early into the Industrial Age, and am in need of advice on resource protection. I am focusing on protecting my mills because I need to upgrade my troops from enlightenment to industrial. I've designed a base that protects my mills, and want to know if there is anything I need to change on the layout.

Is there a reason why u leave so many space inside walls? Towers are not well placed and the whole base could be easily taken easily by planes

As you can see, I'm not very good at defensive base design. I left the space for the mortars to be able to hit attacking troops near the walls. When I have them closer together, they get taken out quickly. As for air defense, I only have the castle and towers.

Yes... you have too many space inside the walls.

Search in forums here, Google or even YouTube for 'Industrial Age base layouts.' There are tons of bases that players have uploaded.

As an enlightenment age player, my eyes would light up if i came across that base. Your mills are not well protected. Look at using your stables and garrisons to help with your defence.

Agree, I would tighten everything up and make sure your mortars are fairly close and overlapping.

There's plenty of room inside your walls, and many defense buildings left outside. I'd put them in, keep them protected, this way they'll last longer. Otherwise they'd get blasted away real quick. You can still have the mortars inside the way you want. I don't think your towers are badly placed. You'll start getting attacked by planes in this age, and the way you've positioned them can attack planes from every front.
Anything that is not defensive and not your resource of choice should remain outside so as not to waste defenses. Use those extra buildings around your base walls as padding, to make it harder for your attackers to penetrate. Always check your replays and see how the changes are working.
The 3 layered cake design you're using is usually a good choice, you just have to fix it up a bit to really make the most of it! If you see a friend or foe with a similar base that looks tough, don't hesitate to drive inspiration from it.

Extra tip for anyone who may need it- try not to put many similar defenses too close together, so that it's not that easy for your opponents to deactivate too many defenses at once.

Anyways, feel free to keep us posted on the changes!
