Thanks guys!

Like I said: never played MODs before (except RTR, tried it) and in vanilla, if I remember Carthage had no archers. I thought this was a huge pain in the but for city defense games. Somehow slingers and skirmisher did not quite do the job.

And in RTR it was always local troops you could hire, but in the whole peninsula of Italy you couldn't get an archer unit. Which I found ridiculous. That is where my concern came from on this topic.

I hope some people bring up some other topics in this thread.
