Artillery users pretty much spoil the MP game for me.

There is no skill in sitting back and unleashing a volley of fireballs at the enemy. thinning out his units with "lucky shots", especially given the vast number of shots that ornagers get!

I played a game with someone earlier who refused to attack me when I chose not to wander into his position (which had a couple of ornager units, backed up by 4 units of Aux archer and urban cohorts).

His entire setup was entirely defensive and he moaned like hell when I decided not to attack. "I'm the defender, your meant to be the attacker"

Still it really annoyed me so I decided to attack from the side, I still got holes blown in my formations and it wasn't a pretty sight...

Artillery sucks.
