I don't know how 1 lvl could make such a difference. There was a low amount of troops and I know I didn't have 25k archers but I had success doing this on lvl 9 with 10k archers and the enemy troop levels were very similar (only 300 more cavalry). I know there is a bit of a tech difference but is there something else more to it? Like town hall lvl or something? It's just I've noticed some things that should work that don't work when starting out and it doesn't seem to always correlate to your research levels but something else in the game. It's hard to explain.
Well the valleys techs are level 10, im assuming yours are not, also 9800 archers is way to low for a lvl 10 valley.
