Japanpimp Battle Reports

[Oro]

Ok japanpimp let me clear somethings up for you.
In the reports you posted layers had no point since the battle started with both enemy and friendly archers within range of each other. So the layers could have been 1 or 5k or 50k it wouldn't have kept your archers alive longer than round 1. You notice more kills in the reports with more defending layers because your extra layers crashed into opponent layers causing some damage. I like what you did with the archers instead of going with 1 big batch where most of your archers don't get queen bonus, but since there is not much point in what you are doing currently its probably best to reinforce over a hh from an ally or if you have one yourself. An ally hh can't be drafted and a hh cannot be lost on defense so there is no risk in doing it.

Your 2nd batch of reports are interesting because even though your arch count nearly tripled and your attack didn't change that much you still did about the same damage. That's because 100,000 of your archers were given a 850% atk boost so they had the attack of 950k archers and then you put in the 200k archers that weren't affected. That is why sending big batches of troops with heroes that don't have enough leadership is not good, but I think you already knew that.

If you want to break free from GhostDog you should put up a trap or abatis to increase battle range before the battle. Your archers have 50% more range than his due to wall bonus and you aren't taking advantage of that. In your first report you posted if you had had an abatis up you would have killed triple the amount of archers and nearly all of the cav and phract because you would have gotten free shots at enemy archers.
