Okay, I just started a game as Carthage on Medium/Medium and trying to take the Greek city on the island below greece (that has a Carthage, Scipii and Greek city on it).

I have alot of guys and I tried automating it (since I dont like attacks on stone wall cities) since I had the bar mostly in my favor. Defeat. Reload and retry, defeat. Always defeat. So I try fighting it.

I had a ram, but archers burned it down. So I reloaded and tried working on the unit of archers on the wall. I used my horse javelineers, javelin guys and slingers against them and all 3 units died and only brought the archers to half-way.

So I reloaded I tried with ram and siege tower. After getting the tower up and loaded and my guys came out, I sent my men (Iberian Round Shield Infantry) to kill the archers and look what happens:



Ehh, how do plain Archers beat a combat unit in straight up melee??

I even sent Javelin guys to toss at the archers sides and that barely did anything. Then I sent the ram forward, since the archers are busy.

And the walls have archers in them and they burned my ram down!

So..

1.How the hell am I suppost to kill them?
and
2.How am I suppost to break the door down?

Thanks in advance
