Re: What\'s the verdict on archers?
The shortbow archers are horribly inaccurate. That said, I've routed a few armies with them, from morale or lucky commander kills=) So don't count them out yet! They're good at routing indys with no losses.
Archers are especially effective against Ermor - they can take out ghouls and unarmored zombies like mad, and don't hurt your own HI shield. However, if it is possible to do this in a mod, I plan to make zombie and skeletal units projectile-resistant. I want them to take half-damage from arrows, and if the only way I can do that is with an air shield, then by golly, that's what I'll do, even though it looks dumb=) Have you ever seen a zombie die in real life from blood loss, or having a vital organ pierced by an arrow? No? Me neither.
On the other hand, archers put a big drain on supply, so you really can't use them with any sort of -supply scale.
