Hopefully in melee they won't be uber anymore... What they were toughest on was light/med cavalry because the defense was not so high for those types, so archers could inflict some really nasty attrition even though they didn't necessarily win in most cases.

Now if the archer hit percentage has not been cut by about half (or missile stats outright reduced by nearly that same amount) then we will still have uber archers when it comes to actually using their bows. The base archers get a 7 but in my tests, even 4 base missile attack is fairly powerful except against well armoured and shielded units. Then you add in typical campaign values of +2 experience, and +1 weapons the missile the would already be at 10, which is very deadly. The elites might as well have machine guns.
