Alan the evil:
crap? I’m not so sure about this…
I wondered if they could be usefull here
https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/t/10217
and many people started to let me think about their use.
I always had some problem on flanks with light cavalries that smashed my war machines in turns 3 and 4 and threated my strong blocks in last turns…
but using some archers I get weak light cavalries and they don’t work so well
So I have more turns for shoot to enemy troops in the center of the field with war machines
Result is that during last turn my hard blocks are not threated and they front weaker units…
And if we front armies without fast cavalry we can use them like small units for bait and flee (another point for hobbos).
I don’t think that 20 archers are crap.
We only must to talk about which kind of archers… but I alredy said my opinion.
