Are archers tough defenders?

[acidd_uk]

Use it the same way as the cats and the cannons - bombard to reduce the city defence bonus, then attack to do massive collatoral damage before the main army attacks... At least, that's what I do

Archers ? Ha !

My Roman theocracy goverment trains Preatorians that runs them over without any losses in a city with +60%, no siege equipment needed (Mixed Cover, strenght, city attack and medic training).

Artillery is only useful for reducing city defense bonus. The tanks handle the collateral damage, since they actually survive doing it.

Archers taking out tanks? Longbowmen taking down choppers? So many complaints about that but I look back at my own life and the years I spent running around for Uncle Sam.

Seen and been in so many countries like Somalia where there is ZERO industry and goverment. How the hell where these 6 year olds shooting at us with RPGS and AK47's???

Simple, we or other nations sold our excess weapons to nation X in the hopes of counterbalancing superpower Y. The results as we all know never where what was expected. Instead you ended up with tons of warlords running amok, attacking eachother, cruiseships, damn near anything.

So in CIV the next time a English Knight takes out your American Gunship, blame the Chinese or Spanish for selling covert explosives to the English Better yet blame your corporations for seeking that extra dollar by doing illegal arms deals
