"Admittedly, I am not familiar w/ any RTS games outside of the TW series as I loathe the genre. That being said I can state that in the TW series archers are not at all decisive. "<br>
<br>
I have admittedly never bothered to get M:TW, but in Shogun archers were definitely a vital element of the army. Which was fine for that period - however this is not the case in the ancient period where archers were irrelevant.<br>
<br>
"I agree that a "Roman" archer unit would be lame -but a Syrian archer unit employed by the Roman's would be fine."<br>
<br>
But we're not in the Imperial period...<br>
