Investigation of unit build costs

[MajorFreak]

okay, thanks. looks like i'll need a VERY patient playtester then. (a) fire one volley (b) opponent turns the reacting infantry unit back to where we want them (c) repeat

You can't use archery in the same way. Only armour and shield (left and front) affects ranged attacks, defensive ability gives you nothing (or at least that is what we think, no tests have been performed on it). So it is rather simple to work out, it is the melee that is hard to understand.
Also, the men turn on their own, but the unit stays in place, and since we can't control the individual men then it becomes hard to control them like this.

fascinating info, thanks
