I've noticed several posts complaining that archers in RTW are overpowered. Has anyone modifed their archer stats as a result? I'd thought of leaving the basic slingers untouched and reducing all other units' attacks by 3 (with a maximum charge bonus of 3), but I'm not sure if this is the way to go. I'm much more at home with swords and spears! :duel:
The archers are not overpowered...I think they are underpowered... Neither MTW or RTW could illustrate the power of archers, especially the elite archers(Cretan Archers for example)....
You may have a point there. Now that I think about it, my elite unit of Balearic slingers in my last campaign (with 3 gold chevrons plus gold weapons) typically racked up around 240 kills per battle. That's a good dozen bullets expended for each kill, mostly against lightly armoured rebels, and basic units wouldn't do nearly as well.Quote:
