It looks like it took 2 rounds to kill the pults which is why there was tradefire and you lost some archers.
But, adding more archers would have killed the rams in 1 shot giving tradefire on both rounds with the pults.

Did I understand what happened correctly?
2 reason. At the time, I did not have time to run all the numbers, but I know 100k would at least take out a lot of them.
I was worried about 1 shoting the rams. It would have been very bad. So I took the min approach.
With the balls in the back, even if I lost the 100k Archers, the balls would have remove the remaining. And if even if somehow I really messed up and the balls ended not killing them fast enough and died, the few remaining would have died to the ATs. So I move my layers, and my other 100k Archers out 15 seconds before the hit. Recalled them so they would return 5 seconds after.

So with the troops at hand, even a worst case scenario... I won. The only down side is my opponent now has a much lower food upkeep. My honor score is so messed up now, it is a non-issue. 10% for life I think now.
