Trousers dont really block arrows, also a bare six pack neither does... Try getting the heavy troops or charge the enemy archers with you general/other cavalry.. Dont get your general killed though!

You've inversed your points. Plus, the Aedui are Barbaroi. Showing off bare-chasted doesn't help against arrows as well. So you see, it's natural you get so many casualties when someone used archers against you.

My advice: First of all, stop trying to convince the EB team about having to tweak the game to your own likeness, because they won't. Not until you provide solid evidence that supports your claims, instead of threads like this where you whine about "faults" you see in the game.

Now, about the archers problem. The best way to counter them, would be with slingers. Their range is greater (at least from wetsern archers), they have more ammo and they are wider-spread (meaning more hard to hit). Also, never forget to have a solid cavalry wing with you. Use fast cavalry and utilize hit-and-run tactics to drive away enemy archers and skirmishers in general. Or, another thing you could do, is hide in woods, or charge at an enemy very fast to prevent casualties from projectiles.
