Well... i didn't really explain it so it's my fault. I was pretty exhausted from work when i checked the thread.
161 ballistas + 349 catapults is not a good combination. You need specifically enough units from ballistas and catapults to wipe out a single layer of enemy units in one shot. Because catapults are much slower than ballistas, cavalry and archers get in the range to kill off all the ballistas in 3 rounds while catapults take 3-4 more rounds to get in range to help ballistas out.
Given that i said 550 ballistas is the safe number to farm lvl5s (which is the number that kills each layer of units in one shot), 161 ballistas can't do the job and hold the ground while your catapults are following from behind. So it would be better to increase the number of ballistas if you are sending with catapults. In addition, I think he received mechanics batallion item to get those pults... this means his other tech levels are probably lower too. So it's even more important that he uses higher number of ballistas.
