Re: AI Archers
What are you using your cavalry for? To stand and get shot at?
I like to set them to the flanks (sides) with orders to attack rearmost or attack archers.
I make sure they are slightly back from the front line of infantry so they escape getting targetted.
The frontline is made up of infantry with shields, or if not many shields are available then anything cheap. I put them in multiple squads and spread out so that a single group of archers cant easily target all of my units at once. Having the frontline hold in place can also help instead of charging forward.
Another option if I have archers of my own is to set my archers behind my frontline units with orders to fire on archers
