Default Re: How to use archers?

Put the archers off to the sides. They get a clearer shot that way than trying to shoot ovre the head of your troops. (on the placement window that means putting the at the top or bottom of the screen)

Having them target enemy archers can help with really low-precision archers.

If you have many archers, and you are counting on their effect, then have your foot troops "hold and attack". Especially if the enemy is heavily armored.
