Next time make a pile of warriors to keep the melee units off your archers. Minimum of 2X the number of archers you have. You were hurt due to the fact that he basically rainbowed you with your own layers. (but his melee units got in contact right away) Not one group of yours had enough numbers to absorb a single one of his archer volleys except your archers. Since his range was longer he won. (his archers got to range while his melee units were fighting) BUT if you had a more compact defense (with same resources/time spent but larger numbers in a layer or two) and more archer towers, he would have lost.
Edit: PS No traps at all probably contributed as well. (allowed him to get right to the minimal wall defenses you had right away)
I'd have to agree, but I still think it is rather silly he lost. Even after analyzing the purported technology levels it seems ridiculous. The Evony combat system could use some adjusting.
