I keep reading about only having 1 trap. How is this better than 100 or 1000. Is this just to make more room for archtowers? Whats the point of 1 trap, why not no traps.

no trap = attacker sends in only cavalry and has zero loses ;D
Some make 1 of everything and the rest archer towers, its purely for the 5k range on the trap. 1 trap forces the battle to start at 5000 range.

It's better to go with 2k abatis and the rest archer towers. abatis force the 5k range and also have a practical use.
is this correct about the abiti. Any opinions?
Defense needs an overhaul in this game.
LOGS/TRAPS/TREBUCHET are useless. They are easily taken down by warriors. That needs to be removed for them to be functional in this game. When a loss of resources is at LEAST 3 to 1 on the defender, they are useless.
Abatis are not affected by anything but cavalry unless you send a small amount of cavalry with warriors or other troops. More abatis die with the addition. I like that since abatis become too difficult to kill otherwise.
Abatis/traps/trebuchet have a 5k range. The farthest in the game and that is a huge advantage for a defender. As long as they have 5k range, they will defeat most opponents just based on that assuming the rest towers and you have gates open with 30k+ archers with layers.
Warrior spams have become what thisgame is all about. Send 70+ spams and then a single attack when the defenses are down. Then the defender builds 1 5k range item and the defender is back in buisness.
This is why abatis are so powerful for defense. It forces the opponent to commit cavalry to every attack. My forula is 50 per level of wall if on daily. 100 per level of wall if offline daily times the number of day in between you paly. You play once every 5 days with lvl 9 walls, then 4500 abatis are needed.
Will the battle still start 5k range if they only have abatis but no cavs are sent?
Hmm... Thanks for the tip Ulf :). I was also wondering what a best deffence would look like :). So at lv10 Walls 18k ATs and 500 Abatise ok if I'm online daily?
1 trap and 1 abatis are not recommended, since a wave of 10 warriors and 10 cavalry will probably take out both; then, (if gates are closed) a follow up wave of 90-100k cavs/cats will own the remaining archer towers.
yeah cuz it forces the range from 5000
