Default Re: What\'s the verdict on archers?

Whats all this about the damage they do compared to infantry? I should do some battle simulations but my strong impression is that with archers my infantry Lasts longer, and without archers my expensive HI need replaced more.

They rout troops often before the troops reach me. They especially save my troops having to go head to head with some of the largest mobs in the game. And shooting at enemy archers often lets me take out an enemy commander which causes all his units to rout. For as cheap as they are I definetly feel they are worth more than the few more HI I might get instead
