No, you build SCs anyway but use them against appropriate targets.

If you mix blowpipes in with shielded front line chaff, do opposing archers with "fire archers" target them?

Even if not, that mix set to "fire closest" can do some intriguing things to any army that's relying on mortal assault troops, especially tramplers. I think you have to arrange for the first unit in the group to have a ranged weapon (blowpipe or javelin work).

Against heavy trampler armies or thug groups, a mix of blowpipes and wolf tribe dagger dudes or indy lizards with their two attacks per round could do some damage.

I kind of like the archers that come with those provinces, too - they have a slight boost to Ranged, don't they, making them superior to Deer Tribe or equivalent indy archers?
