At the start of a siege battle (as attacker) archers are grouped (mixed) together with infantry. In previous version archers would run to covers close to the walls and provide cover from enemy arrows by shooting to the enemy archers.
Now, in 1.4.1, archers are marching together with the infantry, and taking part in hand to hand combat from the start.
