Example of compact defence + reports
Hey. I have been thinking of going compact for weeks now and I decided to just do it. Then I decided to test how strong it would be to have and what it would take to kill.
The numbers are all 100x smaller than theya re supposed to be; both for attacker and defender (except for AT I didn't want to break down; those didnt matter anything at all though in these tests since it was for cav)
NOTE: I didnt heal during the attacks; pretended to be offline. Also moved all my scout out.
Start with:
350 worker
3.1k warrior
160 pike
2.2k sword
1.8k arch
580 cav
40 phract
3.2k balls (should have been 320 but in this case didnt make a difference)
x rams
x pults
15.6K AT
50 logs
Now I hear people say that compact defence is vulnerable to cav. So we tried ''cav smacks''. Very tiny ones, just to see what would be hit, how much etc. NOTE: the attackers hero's are low. I dont except someone sending their best hero but it IS possibly they kill 2x more if they send a real good hero.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you can see, even with all my layers cleared, the cav couldnt reach my archer. This means that with catapults setting range, you (should be/) are invulnerable to cav smacks on your archers (I know something isn't right here but ok..)
So lets assume the last cav wave took out my archers + balls
Lets work out the losses:
I lose:
35k worker
300k warrior
220k sword
17k pike
55k cav
4k phract
180k archer
32.5k ball
x ram/pult
Attacker lost:
1.2m cav
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I know it is possible to layer the attacks better. But just look at this. Isnt compact defence beautiful if you look at it this way?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still has to be tested:
taking out compact defence with archers
(I assume this would take about 1.1m archer, not tested yet)

Just wanted to share this with ya'll. Cheers

No Im not going to do this with actual numbers and waste my troops. You can do that yourself.
