Quote:i usually have them behind my first line of infantry so they get cover and the infantry and throw theirs with support of the skrimishers and have the archer behind them knocking of their numbers from far away. I HATE using siege equipment b.c they always do frindley fire and take out alot of my numbers
I feel the same with skirmishers. They usually unleash half their volley on my own troops and the other half over their heads onto the enemy. I think skirmishers need to be tweaked a lot. They don't seem to be able to aim without taking a good 5-10 seconds, and when they do take all the time they want they still end up killing your own infantry.
The only real place I find they are indispensable are defendin city walls or to take down elephant units.
