Ok, well despite the extra server downtime in the middle, I took my lvl 10 barb. I used a war ensign, penicillin, war horn and corselet. My starting wave was 105k archers, 15k ballista, 1500 rams and other troops for layering. It was 2.8 miles away and it took me about 50 minutes to complete (about 15 minutes in the middle there unable to log on and frantically refreshing my screen trying to will it to come back on).
My follow-up waves were 20k archers and 20k warriors with layers in each. I timed it so that they were all hitting about 1 1/2 minutes apart. In total (it seemed like a lot more) I lost about 45k of each, archers and warriors.
To be on topic, it's my understanding that ballistae are basically the equivalent of several archers. So when you're limited on how much you can send out, it helps with the power of the first attack. I'll have to try just archers next time and compare the results, but I'd like to think my ballistae played a role... at least I hope, lol. They've always been more effective than archers only on lower lvls... I can't imagine they really wouldn't participate at all due to the range.
