The bigger question is how many hitpoints did that army have? 8K troops has the potential for a large HP number depending on number of battles. So your numbers don't add up until the HPs are given. That's how the ratio is possible.
Troops:HPs is not a proper ratio in these terms.

Yeah, afterall it wouldn't take much for the 8k troop army to have a hitpoint value of 25k hps, which would then fall within the 4:1 ratio that has been deemed acceptable for battles.
@TGR - Any idea how many hitpoints your 8k troop army had?
@Hannibal - I'm merely playing devil's advocate here according to the game dynamics in play. If I was you then I'd be hacked off too haha.
