They fired 1920 or 2880, depending on there size, and your upset they only killed 190men?
Um, where did I say I was upset or anything of the sort. I was simply relaying my experiences to people who had asked.

Please bro, if you're going to try and troll or flame, first learn to read, then learn to comprehend.

Since what I said seems to complicated for you. Greek archer units on the HUGE size have 160 men. Im not sure how you got this confused seeing that I had NO archers in that first battle I recalled. Egyptian Stock archers come with 240 men. I clearly pointed out my archers 2 units had 160 men each. The Egyptians had 4+ 240 man archer units plus chariots and skirmishers.

You can count on lightly armored troops taking 20+ casualties in a single volley from one unit of archers with the number diminishing each subsequent volley. Archers seem to lose some effectiveness once you get more heavily armored troops.

So lets recap for the comprehension challenged.

1) Archers are devastating.
2) Fighting a heavy archer army with no counter of your own is a very steep uphill battle if you can even call it that.
3) I am perfectly fine with this, nor was I ever upset, or gave any sort of impression that I was upset.
4) You can do simple math GOOD JOB heres a gold star. *
