Archers; Too heavily armed

(1/122) > >>

Ok, i'm feeling that, whenever i go into comabt vs some ranged units, that the melee combat of the Archers and crossbowmen is way to powerful. it is as good as, or somethimes even better, than the same tier of infantary troops.

Historically, archers only usually carried a light weapon, like a long dagger, or a small sword or axe, and had light amour. but in the game, I see swadian crossbowmen, wearing a scale amour  (forgot name) with a volgue and sheild. this is unrealistic, and i beleive that arechers should be easily killed, once they go into melee (of course the detection ranges for changeing to melee need to be tweaked too)

Papa Lazarou:
I agree that they're too well equipped for melee.
Problem with this sort of suggestion (as I discovered recently) is that so many ppl agree that there's no discussion. So it doesn't last long on the front page.

Skyrage:
I made a post a couple of days ago (which was more or less ignored altogether) about the inconsistency of certain units. A lot of the units ingame needs a big revamp in loadout and skills IMO.

Fooshie:
Agree, i just cant believe a crossbowman defeating a Sergeant in hand to hand combat  :x

Hræfn:
Yeah, I agree. Archers should have a bow, 2quivers of arrows, a shortsword/dagger/boarspear, no armour just plain peasant clothes.
