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.
I meant layers beyond 100k have no point if a King/Queen or normal feasting hall hero with only 100 leadership is being used. They can only lead 100k layers. HH's have around 250 leadership. So they can lead 250k layers.
In the reports I want to show some things we can all learn from related to Age 2...
1. Notice how in the original post my layers did not exceed 100k. Notice their kill results. Notice the 12 star set. Notice the battle rounds.
2. Now notice the most recent battle reports. Same opponent, similar troops on opponent side. Yet notice I used more than 100k layers, up to ~300k layers. Also, notice my 1 gear at 1 star. Yet notice the kill results are about the same as the OP reports.

This helps us learn a few things.
1. Using layers of more than 100k each is a waste and does not help much if you do not have a HH
2. 8 gears at 15 stars/5 gears at 12 stars is not much different than 8 gears at 15 stars/2 gears at 14 stars/1 gear at 11 and 1 gear at 1. The whole life bonus thing seems to be the same. So it must work on a curve. That means crashing one gear to 1 star may not make that much of a big diffrence than we all thought.
