against skirmishers in loose formation even 4 units of archers don't wear them down... and waste all their ammo. I'll try not to let them in fire at will mode though. Maybe I should change my Vanilla's tactics...
Any tips about slingers? I love to play on VH/VH, and it's almost insane. So I fight battles only on top of mountains (where archers are great) and on bridges, Bur defending a bridge with slingers is suicide... And no way to put them behind the lines ^^.
Lately my archers were only firing fire ("firing fire" is my english so bad or???) and I started using ballistae, but I think there's a problem : even the greatest stone-throwers are ridiculously small on the battlefield. Same size for all. (I'm playing the romani.)
I'll try to put my archers on the flanks or back. But I'll need some light infantry to protect them doing so... uh. Let's see if I survive ^^.
