This is a technical term. Terms have meanings because multiple members community decide to use them in a clear and specific sense. Being a member of a community means learning how the others in a community use language and doing likewise. You misused a term with a fairly clear, specific, and communal sense.
You asked for a dictionary earlier. Sure, there's no official dictionary, but it also raises the question of where any dictionary gets the meanings for their words. They do so by studying the words as used by the community.
Focusing on Historicals does not mean you need to own one. If I was Braveheart and I focused on English Castles it means that I focus on ATTACKING English Castles. I have no intention of owning one. We done here? Cause I can keep school open all day if you want.
True, but if you also consider build time spent on traps, abatis, trebs and logs that I wiped I am ahead time wise.
Well guess what Satan and Acer.. today is your lucky day. Today I am changing the meaning of Compact Defense to mean roughly "A city with a crapload of troops in it and full wall defenses"
Seeing how there is no official Evony term Representative I will change the meaning of Compact Defense today..... and until there is an official dictionary, terms are up for revision by anyone.

There's lots of arguments about the best troop mix for a compact defense. The bottom line is that a CD has ZERO traps/abatis. It's a defense made to start the battle at normal range, instead of 5k distance. Noone will ever agree on the proper troop mix, but we can all agree that even one trap or abatis makes the defense lose it's "compact" quality.
If there is even one trap/abatis, then the city does not qualify as "compact defense."
Ok "Compact Defense" is called "Compact defense" Because when you start at normal range your troops are "Compacted" together. When you add T/A/D your troops become un"Compacted" and break apart attacking seperately. And therefore it is not a Compact defense, but merely a defense.
When you post on forums, you are posting to other forum users correct?
If you posted on a spanish forum, you would speak in spanish no?
This is an evony forum, with evony terms decided by evony players and has unwritten terms and rules, like many in life.
Do you only follow rules that are written down? Well then smash your computer and save us all some grief, because that rule isnt written down isnt it? But no doubt you wont do it.
Swallow your pride and just admit you are wrong.

I will either find a way, or I will make one.
Not even close actually. All of those fortifications are the archer equivalent of 2000 archers (+/- 100) depending upon hero ratings. That hardly makes up the difference by a long shot. If we convert everything into Pike-build-time, you're still about 200k pikes short.
Actually, you are wrong. I have 180 barracks in total that can produce ~380k archers/day.... ~400k in 28 hours... and that is with only a 650ish attack hero.
So in ~17 hours I can produce 238k archers and the rest of the troops I lost.
Atlantis cannot build 350k pike, 2762 traps, 499 logs, 1271 abatis, 381 trebs in 17 hours. I have a 750ish attack hero. And even with that attack hero I am looking at ~24 hours just to rebuild that amount of wall defenses, not including the 350k pike. Like I said, I win time wise and resource wise.
