FOR master ARchers Only...

Please share your thoughts about archers troops.. i've been experimenting archers for awhile and its just hard to master it.. YOur thoughts and experience of this matter will surely help me and those who are curious..

thanks

Archers with cavs are quite deadly (I've been told)

i used it many times with cavs, yes its deadly. but it seems archers works as meatshield other than destroyer..

i want to master archers with cats as a deadly force...its just a matter of time to know this things..its quiet a challenge...

I know if you have the same amount of archers as cats (like 5 archers per 1 cat). You'll win, because archers are faster than cats.

archers are faster than cats, but by shooting difference i guess cats can destroy archers in first move..i have lvl 10 shooting and speed all the time, no question about it, but it so happen that my archers always dies in first move..though i always win the battle, but i felt bad to my lovely archers..they are just too good to me...

Though many preach against it, I love the cat/archer combo, for all my sniping pleasure.
It's easy to take out larger cat armies with it when I know the enemy has max speed. If the enemy is commanding...I get the same initiative with my archers, unless he halts his cats or reverses, then I can push my cats.
Of course to be effective, you'll need around 30or 40k archers at least.
Please keep in mind, you should never ever use the archer as a meatshield en masse....it's a complete waste, this is what inf is for, and it's not a major thing to keep 30k inf fed and an active part of your army

Some pointers:

-For equal crop consumption, archers have the same attack as catapults.

-Archers have higher speed than cats

-Though their range is MUCH less, their combined speed & range only comes slightly short of cats.

- With proper commanding, archers can kill max speed cats with no loss. The exact method of doing this is determined by field length.

thanks for the great info...it will be tested..thanks man..

archers have counter attack if they are moving and was attacked. take this into consideration. u should wait a turn or 2 before moving forward ur arch. arch should never be use as meat shield due to their poor defence. u will suffer major casualty if u do so unless as last resort to protect ur cats. always use cav or infantry as shield, tho i prefer cav due to their high defense and astounding attack power on cats. i will rather use arch to clear meatshield as usually meat shield quantity are lesser and more easier to be cleared in a turn or 2, therefore allow cav to have a clear charge on cats. by fowarding cav and arch at the same time, u divert attention of their cats to either cav or arch and allow oppotunity to kill cats easily with little loss.
for arch cat combo, i wouldn't suggest due to slow speed, weak defense. u need capable meat shield to stop cav in their track. if going arch cats, i suggest u go on all 4 units with emphasis on arch and cats with cav and inf as shield. that way, u can most probably buy around 2 turn. u need to plan ur turrets and traps set up as u want as much tall as possible. perhaps 1 trap per row with turrets as main will be a good idea as i have use full cav and cav arch army, i know their weakness. stalling is essential for a sucessful arch cat army.
