I often use them. Mostly to take down cavalry or elphants, or for garrison. But i have never been like "oooh i got to have skirmishers! I need more skirmishers, man". I often thinks that about other units.
Skirmishers have not much ammo, and can not throw very long range. They are not as good in melee as infantry that throws javelins.
I need to know what makes them important, and what makes them a factor to gain i victory, like other kinds of units use to be, and in what kind of battles they are.
