Level 10 NPC, Layers?

indeed. i don't know for sure, but it might be because my compass is at 10? I did notice that it went from lasting only 13 rounds in my first hit up to 14 rounds when I used your method. Not exactly an expert at the battle mechanics of the game though, so I'm really not sure why that happened (other than a difference in compass lvl?). You can't see it from the report pic, but the hero in the npc was the same in both attacks: lvl 2. But I've got time, and could use the extra lumber so i'll conquer and let you know what the defending heroes attack is at after I finish just to make sure that that wasn't the factor.

So I just finished conquering that lvl 10 a few minutes ago. Defending hero had an attack of 38. That being the case, there's only 2 other options for why that attack went as badly as it did. Either compass lvl 10 is bad to use with that set-up that you prescribe, or the layers simply aren't strong enough to help reduce archer losses.
