Re: Archers vs Cats
...nvm can't post war report, it already got pushed out of my mail. I'll try and throw another one up if I kill the guy again. Right now I'm testing a cat/archer combo army, and so far the results have been promising, though you need to strike a balance between the slow but powerful cats and the fast but weak archers.
Only thing to watch when doing this is your opponent's speed. If it's higher than yours after removing horse & manual, they will get first strike (and archers do not take hits well).
