When playing with any of the races that can easily mass range (IE: Man with Longbows/Pangaea with centaurs) I do.

I was wondering if anyone thought this to be a stupid idea? (The normal army size I have is 100-200+ archers clumped into four Groups, as not to get massacred by return fire.)

And consider what would happen if you get attacked by Arch-Devil or similar SC. He will fly into the middle of one of your archer Groups and while he will be taking his time killing them one by one, your other archers will insist on helping AD (with good intents, of course ;->)
