In my current Egypt campaighn I use that tactic - 6 desert archers fire on kataphraktoi + faris merc + 2 bulgarian brigands merc.

Simon Appleton - Arbalesters are not aviable before 1204 and longbow merc, too.

Today in Egypt campaighn - I killed whole unit with archers but one (Byzantium Emperor - 8 stars) fought against camel warriors (my generall - 6 stars), Gulham bodyguard (prince) + 2 Italian Infantry on hill and he alone routed my general and whole army routed after that - how frustrating! But I killed him in next battle with two princes.

And why Bizantium princes when they mature always have at least 4-5 stars in early period?
