why are wall defences so weak against attacks

[Guest]

I was attacked by 40k troops 30k of which were weak militia and cavalry and i had level 7 wall with 24k defences and got wiped out and the attacker only lost 10k militia and cavalry total??? realistcally, an army crossing a field to attack a castle with many defences, would lose alot more troops than the defence troops? ps. they had no catapults or ramers just basic troops.
what is the point if it is so easy to get attacked and lose?

THere is no point walls do nothing to a good attacker. Only pointnof walls is to prevent crappy players from attacking you.

The secret here is NOT having your troops hidden.

Unhide your troops, and assign your highest level knight to Marshall, this increases the might etc.. Of your wall defense by a huge amount.

With my high level knight assigned, and a large t2 attack coming in, I wiped them all and only lost about 20% of the total of the troops he sent.

The reason you lost to that incoming attack was most likely because that attacker had a high level knight. A high level knight can drastically change the outcome of an attack, so the best thing you can do for future reference if you choose to continue building a wall is..

1- increase your knight as much as possible

2-when under attack assign your highest level knight to marshal position

3- unhide your troops either you will win and overpower the incoming attack or at the very least take a bigger chunk out of your attacker

4-make sure to have a high level watchtower so you know exactly what your up against so you know if its worth even unhiding your troops. Some battles are not worth the fight.

Hope this helps.

Also wall defenses do not gain the benefit of healing potions or poison edge. So no life or attack bonus. So tier 1 troops already have up to a 50% boost above wall defenses because of th research. I believe the life and attack buffs only apply to troops and not wall defenses as well. Knight, assuming itmis assigned to marshall position, does give wall defenses a boost.
