Honestly remove directional shield blocking because sometimes that will punish infantry if they are trying to block quickly vs a archer. buff shields vs arrows. Add Athletics, Power draw etc into the game then reduce the dmg of bows to compensate for Power draw and etc. Make it so Archers have 0 Riding. Nerf costs of Archer and armor values for archers down to like 20 for all the high level archers so improved armor gets them to like 28 maybe. Cause atm the most broken class for archer/ranged is vlandia and thats cause its 140 gold and if they snowball they can spawn 3 times as xbowmen.
