On the road again
I like to play Emperor/Marathon/AggressiveAI/Raging Barbs/Standard Size map. Beeling Archery isn't just a peripheral option. No breathing room for rushes, either. All my archers are hard at work!

Why did noone mention the overpowered Sitting Bull Archer Rush?

Because SB does the Dog Soldier rush, which is lethal to any neighbouring civ on Prince or lower.

Noone cares about Drill III/+35% vs Archery-Archers?

Man sitting bulls archer rush is unstoppable. You barely have to stop with all of those first strikes.

yes, strange that many have stated the Protective trait is one of the weakest. I have been experimenting and it makes for lethal archer upgrades.
Build a barracks, send an archer out- encounter a couple barbs - and you have garrison, drill2 and whatever else you want.

I play on Monarch and I think the only archery unit I've ever build is the crosbow to protect my stacks from melee. If you end up fighting a defensive war chances are you've already lost.
AI also starts with free archer and archery tech on that level, plus in BtS AI also rushes units alot more if threatened.
