Recruit

So heres the story, I joined kingdom of vaegirs and not long into my new faction career I (surprisingly) get awarded Dhirim as a fief. Great I thought, so I lead my mega army over to Dhirim and hole up. Next thing I know I have the sarranids sieging me with 700 troops and as per usual our entire defense force is "gathering the army" on the other side of the world. Thanks for the support guys!
Anyway i'm packing a lot of archers so I think no problem they will get torn a new one since I have almost 300 troops in here and they only have 700. Well now after repeated attempts at holding it and subsequently having my ass handed to me I decided to rage quit.
Honestly... what the F*CK is the point in having fortifications when my guys on the wall are not only getting torn to pieces by enemy archers but 90% of my archers can't even frickin shoot back effectively. I thought defending was supposed to be a bloody advantage not a downright liability. You can't maneuver your troops because they all get bunched up and blocked and if you try to move your archers then none of them can shoot. Your infantry who guard the seige tower point are so ridiculously exposed that by the time the tower gets to you they are almost all dead from enemy archers.
Now as a master archer myself with PD 10 and the strong war bow I can take down crap loads of enemy troops; in fact from the after battle report I bet at least 50% of the enemy dead were caused by me and I always target the elite troops too. Its just so damn infuriating that my archers can't even make a measly 2:1 kill ratio and all my troops seem to be doing is getting shot dead where they stand without making any contribution whatsoever.
Alright end rant..
