i just played a few online game with english again, those longbowmen are way overpowered. i saved couple of replays of the new longbowmen owns everything. they simplely have way too long range now. i fire 1 volley of arrows on passive and move backward before xbowmen could finishing the reload. then i repeat the samething while xbowmen try to get in range...that was not even funny, cavalry got owned hardcore while trying to rush the bowmen too. there is no skill using them, i simplely hold mouse on opposing cavalry, once my arrow icon turns green, ctrl selecet 3 units of longbowmen then right click on the cavalry, those arrows rout chivilic knights before they can even get close to them.
and english units section offers too many twohanders. dismounted english knights, billmen, heavy billmen at late. those twohand axes do great against both infantry and cavalry. basically you got 16 units out of 20 with armor pericing weapon, longbowmen have both weapon with AP effect. 8 longbow, 7 twohand axe, 3 spears, 2 cavalry. this type of army is pretty overpowered now. it simplely out shoot xbow in missle exchange, owns flanking cavalry, wtfpwn rushing infantry.
please, this have to be rebalanced. increasing yamen archer's cost seems to be an good option. you can't allows a unit to fit 3 rolls at same time(wins missile duel. kill infantry, counter cavalry), beside field 7 twohand axe at 10k game is pretty insane.
