[1.1] Archers/Magic use in ridiculous level

from Elemental Forums

Basically i do not use archers anymore - before i have an access to technology my enemy runs around with lord hammers and 5-10 defence which makes bows useless, taking into account also that you have to build special buildings to produce them ... It is just better, actually must-be, to go after high attack melee weapons.

 

Battle Magic is also quite useless on ridiculous level - if stupid spiders you meet at the beginning of the game have 30-40 hp it requires 40 intelligence (11 level) of cast speller to cast two magic arrows to kill them .... With this high hp enemies you need i do not know how many channelers and huge mana income to base your military power on magic ..

Similarly, summons are useless too - i never used them

the only way to victory is strong army (one is enough - teleport spell is so cheap ...) By the way, i do not know if it is bug, but your sovvereign can cast teleport even if he has not enough of intelligence ...

sov can cast all spells

We all know Sovs can cast all spells, he is saying that you would have to have an int of 40 and hit twice to do enough dmg to kill the spider.

weird, I think that the archer are too strong...I give shortbows to some champions and they can kill at least 3/4 of the enemy army before the conctat with the melee units

OP did say:

... so he obviously didn't know.
