Defense needs an overhaul in this game.

LOGS/TRAPS/TREBUCHET are useless. They are easily taken down by warriors. That needs to be removed for them to be functional in this game. When a loss of resources is at LEAST 3 to 1 on the defender, they are useless.

Abatis are not affected by anything but cavalry unless you send a small amount of cavalry with warriors or other troops. More abatis die with the addition. I like that since abatis become too difficult to kill otherwise.

Abatis/traps/trebuchet have a 5k range. The farthest in the game and that is a huge advantage for a defender. As long as they have 5k range, they will defeat most opponents just based on that assuming the rest towers and you have gates open with 30k+ archers with layers.

Warrior spams have become what thisgame is all about. Send 70+ spams and then a single attack when the defenses are down. Then the defender builds 1 5k range item and the defender is back in buisness.

This is why abatis are so powerful for defense. It forces the opponent to commit cavalry to every attack. My forula is 50 per level of wall if on daily. 100 per level of wall if offline daily times the number of day in between you paly. You play once every 5 days with lvl 9 walls, then 4500 abatis are needed.
