Well Blutzeit, I tend to disagree that those stats tell that the defender has an advantage. For me personally, the stats are opposite for me, I attack almost every single game I play in, win/loss ratio would prolly be 60% to 40%.

But that said, I do believe their is a advantage to defenders, if nothing else at least for the pav battle. Seems to me like 90% of the time in a battle where both sides have the same upgrades on all their pavs, same amount, etc. etc. that the defender will get the edge there.

I dont know about how it is for inf and cav, but one would assume defenders would also have the advantage here but imo its because more often then not, the attacker is the one that will move in after the pav battle at which point they have the disadvantage generally.

Think its more a matter of personal view on if theirs a defensive advantage or not, me personally I feel their is but some others might not.
