following on from the extra long cavalry thread what do we think about missile troops?
these days i don't know what to do about missile troops especially gunpowder units.
i usually always go for archers as i know i can rely on at least some sort of missile attack in all weathers'which i can't with gunpowder units.though i must admit i get pissed off if it's bone dry and find my opponent bristling with guns.
generally as an attacker i prefer h2h units with little or no missile troops and as a defender about 1/3 missile troops.
i also know my archers will at least give a fair acc in h2h as well which the gunners won't.
but i get jealous of the gunpowder units endless ammo supply and ability to rout units in dry weather.
i am also talking fairly low honour here 2-4 as i only ever play 5000k games.
also as an attacker i try and always make it pissing down with rain which reassures my strategy of no missile units as an attacker while making his gunpowder units useless or archers less accurate/deadly.
opinions please especially on gunpowder units
