Archers should be less useful against cavalry unless firing straight on (combine the vectors). which is ridiculous and massively de-emphasized spearmen, who were usually the bulk of balanced army (you know, as historically accurate).

Since Rome 2 (possibly Shogun 2?) archers and the like seem MORE likely to hit cavalry at any speed. Archers had trouble hitting them reliably (as it should be). In older TW titles, fast moving units such as cavalry had a nerf-effect on the accuracy of ranged units when moving at a run. SoA also have AP, magic and flaming attacks, so they'll kill everything fast except dwarfs, but those only marginally slower. Ranged units by contrast require no such thought since they're braindead effective against close to everything thanks to massively overtuned DPS and for the best of them, like SoA, you don't even have any LoS concerns and they can attack units from almost anywhere. Melee infantry is slow and turns slow and is often only effective against certain targets, so you need proper planning and positioning to actually have them engage in favorable MUs. More boring than watching melee units grind on each other for 10 minutes? At least with archers you're more engaged with the battle and can target high priority units on the enemies side.ДЄrcain Phoenix stack is the current doom stack though.

I bet thatвЂ™s accurate but I hope itвЂ™s not. No need to bother with anything else as long as the game leans so heavy on ranged damage.
