Towers Outranging my Cats?

Could you have just pushed your cats up a little bit to much?

yes. but tower got less speed than cats

I hit a level 8 fort today. My cats seem to hit the first and second row of the towers without any problem, but for the third row, there is apparently 1 turn that they hit my cats without my cats actually hitting them back, and I just end up getting them on the next turn.

How is this happening? I have level 8 shooting. I thought that towers don't outrange cats until level 9-10... and even if they did, how am I not having any problems with the first and second row?

lv8 turrets have 950 range. Your cats with lv8 shooting has 928 range. Speed plays a part in this. Your cats are faster than turrets so you likely stepped into your range of the first two rows first, but was unlucky and outside of your range, but inside of the third rows range. A cav/archer combo is better against the high level turrets anyways because of how fast you can clear them.
(archers hit the first row, the first turn, then the 2nd/3rd rows hit cav once, then the cav hit the 2nd row followed by archers hitting the third row. Done before cats would hit on turn two.)
As for the cav problem....perhaps you moved forward the other time. (1250-300=950. Your range is 928...)

Does this help?

Im looking at your reports why don't you try investing more into speed? I just hit a lvl8 and had zero losses to turrets. My cata move over twice the distance than yours do! Remember speed kills.

Yeah, when I first started, I wasn't that knowledgeable about the game and didn't realize the importance of speed. I will be redoing my stats soon anyway. I just figured I'd take advantage of the fact that I overinvested in attack an hit as many forts as I can to boulster my army before I redo my stats. I just didn't realize they started outranging me at lvl 8, I thought it was suppose to be 9.

The max cat range is 960, so you can out range lv8 turrets(range 950). A level 8 turret will hit cats with a tech range of 9 first unless you overstep its range advantage on you and your speed hits it first. ^^ I use my archers in this way to get first strike on catapults btw....

Cats got a higher speed than turrets. 50 > 10. As Erraven said ur cats got 928 range, the turrets 950. There are 2 ways to avoid losses next time

1. U need a higher shooting tech. The shooting tech HAS to be 10, a lvl 9 tech is giving u only 944. I dunno ur speed attribute so with bad luck u could went to the little "black spot" in ur range.
2. Upgrade speed tech. u have to upgrade at least for 44 points. This would increase the marching speed of ur troops per 22 per round.

If u would give me ur speed attribute and tech per pm i could tell u how man u have to upgrade.
