If there are 13 levels of enemy mounted troops, that will take a single group of archers 13 rounds to kill. Even if those mounted groups only have 5 troops each, it still takes 1 round each. Adding layers means adding as many small groups as possible, with intent to cause the enemy to overkill. You can use every type of troop, at every level.\\n\\nImagine this scenario:\\n\\nPlayer A has 900,000 top tier ranged and nothing else.\\nPlayer B has 800,000 top tier ranged, and also a very small amount of everything else. Layers.\\nIf this battle actually occured, player B would win. Bigtime.\\n\\nTest it yourself on a smaller scale. During NAP, send 9,000 ranged troops to camp on a tile, and have a friend of similar strength send 8,000 ranged troops + layers to attack it. Then reverse the experiment.\\n\\nI bet the person with layers will win both times.\\nSome people swear by layers of 3,000. Some say you need 10,000. I actually think all of those people are right, in a way.\\n\\nIf you and me fight in a temple… Me with my layers of 5, and you with layers of 3,000… I think you will have the edge. After a couple rounds of battle, I’m not going to have anymore layers! Your layers of 3,000 siege will have killed all my layers. And then its a fight of layers vs. no layers, which is terrible for me!\\n\\nIf you have layers of 3,000 then I would really like to have layers of 6,000. My layers of 6,000 should dominate your layers of 3,000. After a couple rounds, I’ll have layers and you won’t! It’s sort of a power creep. Layers of 12,000 would beat layers of 6,000… and so on.\\n\\nHowever, when layers get really big, we start running out of march space. Eventually it’s going to swing back around, and my layers of 5 will beat your layers of 12,000… Because I will have 900,000 strong archers in my top 3 layers and you’ll only have room for 350,000. Your 12,000×48 layers take up too much space.\\n\\nHopefully that makes sense.\"}",
