Archers aint overpowered it's the crossbows that make it impossible. Looking at Vlandia here. Everything in their arsenal makes it so that the other factions have to counter this crossbow spam with allot of their own archers. And yeah there are perks that stack on archers especially the range bow which makes the bows shoot way further and longer hold time so more accurate. Combined with the marksman perk or bullseye give a sort of bodkin type arrow which we all know in warband a full tincan could also just straight up take 2 hits on the head by a bodkin fired from a warbow and be die. And in the end it comes down to the skill of the person shooting aswell.
But compared to crossbows bows are underpowered. Crossbows are basically laserpointers which instakill everything on a headshot no matter what you're wearing if it's full tin or just just a cap. Bows take 2 shots to do the same effect atleast on people wearing proper armor so the tier 2/3 troops. The max dmg I have done with a headshot with the fian is roughly around 80 which leaves some health for fully armored people to keep walking. I have even seen people without helmets survive a headshot by a fian resulting in like 70 dmg. The archers aint the problem here it's the crossbows that should be adressed.
And archer spam has always been a thing even in warband but server owners like the people who run mount and siege have capped archers when the server hits a certain amount of players which the taleworlds servers don't do. The point system also makes it that you need the points for archers and in some cases if you do quickly with for example a fian without doing dmg you can't pick it not even the ranger because you just have a 100 points.
If the warband class system returns the archer spam will be even worse as now because everyone can just pick archer
