i can win w/ just massed inf, out manuever w/ just cav, but u can't win by out shooting your enemey. at some piont u have to fight or fall back. i understand combined arms is the way to go, but are archers the weakest and most costly troops to train and not battle winning in aand of themselfs? i find that archers only shine when the battle is won and i'm fighting off the reinforcements.
