that's exactly why rams are so hard to make, you have to upgrade your barracks, your tech to get them, since then, you'll have already too many troops, and your defend has been strong, about the archer thing, it's very rare, rams are great for close ranged battle with archers, they're strong enough(medicine lev 10, millitary tradition lev 10, iron working lev 10, horse back riding lev9)fast and tough enough to get near the archer without losing too much blood, you have to work on your defend, if you still being attack by that many archers, you'll soon run out of bussiness
