Hello all

I am playing a game, I have a city surrounded with archers, firing at the city all the time and getting nowhere? they don't appear to hardly get damaged and there one archer in the city keeps attacking and never getting any weaker?

Hi there. I took a look. You have successfully destroyed the city with your archers - it has no health points left. The problem is that you have no melee units nearby (warrior, scout, swordsman, etc.) to take the city. Make a warrior and send him into the city and it will be yours. Hope that helps.
