    Also, all those abatis' would kill a calvery raid.
    First, it's spelled CAVALRY not CALVERY or CALVARY. Second, you're relying completely on theory. With higher level techs cavalry and cataphracts have a very decent amount of defense, and last time I checked wall levels only effect range, not defense. The range bonus is basically eliminated with the speed that the cavalry hit the front lines. Go try it out before you try to act like you know.

    And last time I checked, all of you were doing the same. All of you say it won't work, but you have no proof to offer up that it won't except theory.

    I have tried 100k phracts against lvl10 walls and 300k archers plus some other troops.
    Lost 3mil honor and only killed 150k archers out of 300k plus a few thousand ballistas. Sorry I can't provide proof but all my battle reports up to 5 days ago were wiped out.

    Edit: That was before the wall defense nerf so I suspect they are more lethal now.

    I have tried it out. LV 10 HR has a greater speed than Lv10 arhcery's range, BUT the wall bonus gives the defender time for the rainbow defense to setup, giving the defender 6 rounds before the attacker is in range of the archers. I will also point out AGAIN the 10k abatis that would kill your attack. You whole 'Use cavalry' theory was just that, a theory that I disproved. If you are going to say "use this" as a defense then POST an example. Otherwise, "your relying completly on theory"

    The freakin battle report shows speed kills. Faster units engage faster and die faster. It doesn't even require three brain cells to figure this one out. The slowest units attacked from range, moved in slowly and were left standing.

    First of all, what fun would a game be if it wasn't challenging?
    Amen.

    And you say it will work without any proof. We speak from experience. You spoke from a kneejerk reaction to having your OP disproved.

    People are saying that strategies havent workebd because they have tried them. I havent seen you provide anything to back up your theories with fact, so your not doing anything productive by claiming that other strategies will work. You cant hide behind and justify a theory until its proven

    So you're saying that my theory is completely nullified by a simply 10k abatis that may take one or two cavalry out each... Wow. Valin, you are simply a child that can't spell trying to make yourself seem like you know what you're saying. Give me until tomorrow, I will provide you a battle report of 100k Cataphracts going up against a city close to the defenses of the earlier posted battle report.

    Should be a battle report worth seeing.

    Good to hear, things are much more believable when they are backed up with proof. Also are you a gambling man, if your theory proves correct then i will change my sig to anything of your choosing as long as its allowed, if unsuccesful then you must do the same
