    I am starting to think that it isn't so much that archers are over powered, just that they have too many arrows. This is even more the case for a civ like the Parthians or Armenians that rely on cav archers. I am currently playing an Armenian campaign and if I go into battle with all cav archers in roughly equal number of companies as the enemy I can just decimate them with very few losses. I never run out of ammo so I never need to engage the enemy in melee. I think if all archers had about the same ammo as peltasts do then this would be different and more realistic. Then I could soften the enemy up and maybe with concentrated fire I could eliminate a few choice companies, but ultimately I would have to engage in melee to win. This is probably how it should be and it is how MTW was.

    Archery is fine.

    Forester Riflemen are exceptional (smith + 2 * temple = missile 22!). Legolas doesn't appear to be in the unit.

    Thankfully none of the hovertank factions have missile temples.
