Yes of course . I thought you didn't get over that balloon mania anyway.

What is very interesting that I have found is that indeed, drawing up one's own ranged units in two or three lines/rows almost doubles their ranged losses inflicted, as opposed to having four or more lines/rows of men. So always line up your archers/slingers in no more than three lines!!! It is indeed true that this game mechanic remains unchanged from MTW.

Interesting. Puzz3D reported that this was not the case, but it may have changed with later patches. Could you post the exact, numeric results?
