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.
    Wow. I'm now a child for a simple typo. Very mature response. I will AGAIN state that the range will allow the rainbow defense to be setup, which was the main reason for your attack to fail. The abatis was an afterthought. I thought the context clue of "also" would have given that one away. Glad to know that you know so much more about this game than someone who's been playing since server 2 first opened up, and was ranked 6th on their best server. Oh wait, everyone else on this thread is proving you wrong too. WOW!

    It is possible to win the war. It is just not possible to win that certain battle.

    There are ways to make the defense go down by attacking the defender's allies, make him to reins and then attack. The war turns into a bigger battle between alliances not just between players. If you can not attack the fortified wall, you can place siege on them by having a city next to him and cloud it with scouts. If he is forced to defend that certain city while your troops is out killing his allies then you will win the war.

    This is a real battle result. Defender won with equal or lesser tech and weaker attack hero with wall level 8 with engineering at 6 or 7.

    Attacker:
    1 pikeman
    4997 swordsman
    85000 archer
    1 cavalry
    1 cataphract

    Defender:
    17 worker (all died)
    12 warrior (all died)
    113 scout
    1325 pikeman (all died)
    578 swordsman (all died)
    64748 archer (0 CASUALTY!!!)
    1 cavalry (all died)
    1 cataphract (all died)
    200 ballista (all survived)
    21 trap (10 died)
    461 abatis (2 died)
    884 archer tower (all survived)

    In case you need clarification, you should note that attacking army has larger number of range units and melee units. The defending city has not much in terms of wall defense.

    Conclusion? You don't need 170k archers for defending with 0 archer losses. You don't need 100k archers. The number is a lot smaller than you think.

    All depends how confident he is with his theory, i give props to him for throwing down a challenge and then will be showing proof, although personally if i was having the kahunas to make the call, i would have had the proof first

    Confidence has little to do with reality. I hope he does accept your wager.

    Without having confidence in a theory, you dont really believe it yourself, surely we have all been there in that situation where you have afeling something may not work and it doesnt, then other times you know that yep "I'm gonna get some tonight"

    Valin, if you really want to know, I've been playing this game longer than you. I was playing Civony when Server 1 was the only server.

    Edit: Btw, vulgar, I accept your challenge.

    LOL I'm a little bit disappointed. If you were playing in server 3, please do pay my city a visit, i'll lay down my troops just as the Battle report, with the same att hero so you can test your 100k phracts theory.
