    Was actually just 15k phract and 15k cav takin out 40k arches and 10k swords + some wars. So not as impressive as I thought. But it does show some promise perhaps. BTW he used a modified scout bomb! Good man!

    That fight also had no fortifications. We have no idea what level wall was there, if any, or if the calvery killed the meat shield defenders BEFORE killing the arches or after. I was looking at that he other day, trying to find ways to not waste my 50k ball, 30k cata, 20k batt assault army. Is still a good attack force, but not as good as it was before the wall boost. I miss those days. 50k ball with support would slaughter that 179k archer defender back then.

    Please do me a favor when you do so. Don't throw up a battle report with like 5k cavs vs. 10k archers defending and say how it's the same thing only smaller if the cavs win.

    I want to see a battle report with armies that are at least near that size defending. I want to see your catas or cavs crashing into 179k archers.

    The question though, is will it work with high level walls, losts of fortifications, and a rainbow defense? I say no. It will cause some damage, but not enough to be worth it.

    Don't give their archer units this huge range advantage off the walls.

    Challenging is one thing, but nobody is going to take all this time to create this biggest, baddest attacking army just to whittle 300 here and 100 there off the defending army per wave.

    This needs changed.
    *sigh*

    Should we suppose that 70k archers really should be able to defeat 170k archers and 9k archer towers?

    There are ways of defeating this sort of defense, but it takes patience and careful planning.

    Which is what should be expected in a strategy game... Strategy.

    define worth it...if your going to put that much effort into an attack you will follow it up repeatedly and conquer, a battle is a battle which is different to a war, take no prisoners, plunder and conquer

    I ment getting a kill ratio that makes sense. Sending that and only getting a few thousand defenders is NOT worth it.

    It wasn't that he lost, but rather how little he killed.

    *sigh* No of course not, but 70k archers and 30k ballista could maybe make a dent?
