Weak archers ?? What's the problem, they have a bow, that's all that matter... Any bowman group is doomed if any melee troops comes to contact, having poor morale is rather an advantage as they run quickier - and faster as they're unarmored.
Poor morale is never an advantage... the sooner they run the sooner they stop supporting other troops on the field such as a SC or slow tank troops. Also the sooner they run the more likely your army will lose during close battles.
I only buy the Machaka archers during the beginning of a game or if I'm desperate.

As for PD, half of the nations have also terrible PDs (Man, Arco..), that's not specific to Machaka.

Yes... but that hopefully Dominions3 will have better/stronger province defense for the races.

IIRC Illwinter didn't change it for DomII because they thought it might lead to defence being stronger that offense, and to boring games.

I love pangea carrion woods theme, no idea why. I've still got difficulty getting a good strategy with carrion woods, but I'll figure it out.

PD also wasnt changed because Dom is a game of rock-paper-scissors at a race level. Its a game where SOME races are supposed to have great PD which can be used in their strategies, while other races have other levels of PD which they must work into theirs.

For a great PD race, choose Jotunheim giants. Altho that comes with the "too expensive to travel as an army"
