For those unaware, compact defense removes the 5k range and uses pikes and swords with fewer archers, max towers with some (if only 1) rollinglog.
100k archers or just some darwin mixed in (1 phract through worker minus scout) seems a good way to cut down troops. Grant, at first compact defense WILL deal more damage to the offense. Rams seem the ultimate way to smack compact defense down, but overall, will traditional tactics still work against simple pikes and swords?

.. and yeah, the slow moving layers like sowrds works and wars are kinda a pain to remove .. esp if the defender has got heavy seige and good hero defending there.
