This is DEFINITELY not my imagination... samurai archer accuracy and damage over time has been greatly reduced. I noticed at first that the "sound effects" you hear when lots of men are dying (as opposed to just one) was happening when my archers would shoot an enemy at close range, yet I'd only see like 2 guys died. Now on a Japanese campaign as Imagawa in Warlord Edition, I defended Shinano against like four attacks using 8 archers. I didn't get any units (even ashigaru) down lower than 45 or so before they reached the top. I used to whittle them down so low they'd rout before they even got halfway up. I guess they wanted to really EMPHASIZE mongol superiority, since skirmisher damage is way way higher than archer damage was even before expansion.
Anyone else noticing this?
