I noticed that once ATs are down, more troops from the the defender's side die on a compact defense.

I also noticed that if someone sends an archer rainbow with fodder (workers, warriors, scouts, pikes, swords, cavs, phracts), there are less defending troops that die compared to one with the same fodder but with balls and pults included.

And when ATs are down, an archer rainbow prioritizes archers compared to swords even when swords have a higher atk value than archers. But i guess that is just the way it is with compact defense.

Comments please.
