    Defense is unbeatable now. I've heard through the grapevine that WMD has done some testing on server 1 and they found that it's impossible for the attacker to win if the defender has 50k+ archers. With high level walls of course.

    I didn't really need WMD to tell me that, but it's nice to know some people are still working things out empirically anyway.

    Thanks for the reports Brad, nice to have some evidence that essentially no matter what variation you try defenses are unbeatable.

    Well now we see if you send ballistas and archers and screens you die. If you send Ballista screens with mass melee you die. If you send Catapults and ballistas and screens you die. Haha.

    Send mullikan a nice thank you note too, for providing us with such wonderful data.

    Ack. I wish those links would load all the way for me to see. I can't get the defense side to show what he had.

    You can't see the right side? How odd

    9k ArcherTower
    1k Rockfall
    130+k Archers
    2.5k ballista
    3-5k traps
    2kish abatis

    Some minor fluctuations, he started with a buncha wars and those are the only units he really lost in any significant numbers

    The only thing that seemed to ever kill any archers were catapults.

    EDIT: *never* have cavalary defending. The only large loss of archers was when he was defending with cavalry.

    Nice and pokey ever think it could of been because of the ballistas and/or the 50k archers that the person attacked with
