Topic is like a trick question: Archer do not have feelings!archers have feelings, we hate everything what live, and i also remeber names to be able to revange :twisted:
Now ranged got nerfed and with that my throwing daggers became complete garbage aswell, i guess its a price worth paying.
But also with the nerf the amount of archers has reduced, and cav risen. Now theres always a shit ton of cav spawnraping, oneshotting and plowing through infantry. And since the ranged amounts have been reduced cav can roam much more freely. I feel we need a cavnerf to follow up, or maybe i'll just have to switch to permanently playing with either pike or hoplite.
With more cav comes more pikes and hoplites then more generalist melee to deal with the pikes and hoplites, I think that's fine.
The thing is, i never see many people use pikes/spears. Usually there are more byzantiums with poking weapons than the rest of the server. And now many of us are playing alts etc, so even less anticav on the server. And whenever i see people use pikes they barely use them to fight cav, but only focus on infantry :(
well, we are close to uselessness again where we had been for months. Great patch.
Horses survive headshots with pd8 mw bow bow or pd6 mw longbow, both with bodkins, agi guy in medium armor takes 3+ shots to take down, etc.
But it was to be expected, and we had a few weeks of fun before, so be it. :rolleyes:
To be honest I care less and less - for an occasional trolling session the game is still fun (because of the hilarious people on NA, thanks all you dickheads for countless funny moments!!!), and apart from that I am starting to look for other things to put my time into... quite a bit of real life stuff coming up, books to finish, etc. - so the nerf is welcome since it makes playing c-rpg much less tempting... :mrgreen:
Wasn't this less a nerf than a patch equalling ranged damage with melee damage against high tier armor?
Now it's even more rock, scissors, paper, as ranged will have to teamwork with its own can-opening infantry, instead of more or less just ignoring armor as hitherto.
Suprise, archers got nerfed again :mrgreen:
After last patch I noticed that number of archers felt down and there is way less QQ about archers.
Why?
Armor is protecting ppl better against projectiles.
Situation we have now is a bit closer to realism. If you have shit bow and cut dmg arrows guy with hi armor ratio will laught when you shot him.
Now most archers are using at least 4 pd bow, because with it you can deal dmg.
It's nice to see when a guy in plate or armor close to it can survive 3 shots (long bow+bodkins), it makes game funnier from both sides and makes that ppl starts using good looking heavy armors.
This nerf IMO is a best way to nerf archery and not making it unplayable. Pew-pewing ppl to death is still possible :D
Can't wait how is archery going to looks like in strat, because i heard about some changes in archery we will have only in strat. 8-)
Have a nice day and remember, if you have a shield, don't forget to shield up :wink:
Hush up and go play one of the many piece of shit first person shooter garbage.I don't like point and click games, but i love archery system in c-rpg.
You are probably NA, so there is no reason to add you to my blacklist :cry:
I will shoot him for you, he actually likes it, esp. death by buttshot :mrgreen:

Archery in c-rpg is not a point and click shooter easy mode.
Dont go full retard Steveee... You where being such a champ earlier..On hi lvl archery is easier than on 30, but all i wrote here is to show how crappy archery is ATM. If hi lvl bundle of sticks playing this game for few years as dedicated archer have some ploblems with killing, guys making retirements and not going over lvl 31 are having quite hard times.
Also yes, archery is easy mode, its a point an click adventure when high lvl.
AN YES WE KNOW LOW LVL ARCHERY IS CRAP :!:
I agree with you steevee, I feel nerfed..
Also can you give us a list of the so called high level archers who quit or retired? Cause i havent noticed anyone quit :?
lol Steevee, you should know better than wasting your time "discussing" archery with Tzar. I am so glad that I dont have to put up with such individuals anymore and am thankful to be privileged to discuss such matters with people who actually have clue what they are talking about now.
How'd you do that?
As you can see here, 4 of those archers are from same clan, and most probably those are alts or skip the fun characters.(click to show/hide)
Two good archers in strat are sometimes more worth than 4 decent melee.

Yet archers keep claiming that they are underpowered huehuehue the irony...I never said that archers are UP. Archers telling that are just retards without any sense of humor or realism..., just like you Tzar :mrgreen:
Yet archers keep claiming that they are underpowered huehuehue the irony...It's due to the nature of strategus battles. Eu1 and strategus has entirely different elements. I would explain what archers and infantry are good at, both at strategus and Eu1 but I would be wasting my time explaining it to you. So, I won't bother. I prefer to keep it to myself.
