My first attack, I sent 22k archers with a 107 attack hero. The fight lasted 1 round and I took 68 casualties against a few hundred archers.

Is it possible for a level 7 valley to have level 9 or better archery?
If not, how did the defending archers even manage to fire?
Archery is a research technology. I assume any attack leaving a city where the research is viable (Academy level is proper inversely to the required level) the units coming forth from the city would have the technology.

Second question: No one knows what the researched technologies of NPC/barbarian towns are! We're always interested if you can find out
