Archer towers attack at range. Their base range is longer than archer's base range. The Archery skill adds to both units. If the Archery skill is higher than your oponents, even seige weapons could be destroyed before they attack the towers (with catapults being the exception since their base range is higher than towers and you need arachery 10 to get them). Since catapults take a LONG time tobuild, let us assume that 1000s of catapults is not what you are looking for to answer your question.

When comparing archers to towers, if your archery skill is 2 above your opponents archery skill, then you are at approx equal range (it depends on level because there are times where towers will have slight range on archers). So if your archery skill is 3 over your opponent's archery skill, your archers will attack first. With 3 times as many archers, expect to lose little to none.At equal archery equivalent you should attack with 4 to 1 odds. You will win with some casulaties. You can send infantry to attack towers as well, but they will die unless you send a large amount say 10 to 1. Since infantry at those numbers would be expensive to train, only warriors should be considered for the task. There is nothig wrong with sending both units in together.

Say you want to attack 1000 towers and 1000 traps. Your archery skill is 2 above your opponent. You send in 5k of archers and 10k of warriors. This is a wise tactic because your opponent could still open the gates for his troops to attack you. Now, you should win with 10k warriors or 4k archers, but thebig picture isn't how do I get past towers. It is how do I get past ALL HIS DEFENSES?

Reserches, scouting, and troops are all necessary to answer your question. A single tower at lvl 3 archery is much different that 6000 towers at level 8 archery.Without EXACT data, we are talking theory instead of reality. So the answer to your question is, your question cannot be trully answered fairly. The appoximate answer is build up your research and attack with overwhelming and/or superior forces.
This probably has to be the most well thought out post i have seen in all my time on the forums. I must thank you for breaking the noob norm and showing us that Humans do actually have brains.
