A belated welcome to the Throne Room @Domen and thanks for your comments on the guide!

I follow with interest the development of hotseats in which reloading is allowed. I don't like it myself but that's because I'm one of the old fogeys Myth mentioned who doesn't have time for it. Also I tend to prefer games where it is permitted to fight battles so reloading would be really against the spirit of those.

I'm also interested in your observations about the usefulness of archers in siege defense. I assume you mean in an auto-resolved battle? Have you observed this elsewhere or is it a quirk of the Crusades campaign?
