It won't help. If 4 Syrians and 2 Cretans aren't enough, I don't know what is.

Archers with higher accuracy than medium might help

the only archers with higher accuracy than medium also have no armor, and would get charged once and run

More to the reason why HAs need to be statted as the harassers they were and not mounted sharpshooters with sniper rifles XD

If you think HAs are bad now, play vanilla for a spell and you'll see how far we've come...

Vanilla has a limit of 2 horse archers. I think they are fine right now , Of course when you let yourself get surrounded by an army of them you are asking for trouble .

And the old legacy rules for EBO restricted just how many you could bring and also forced you to bring some infantry IIRC. With no infantry to attack, there is really nothing you can do now except hunker down and wait out an arrow storm. Recreating Carrhae is not the most fun thing to do.
