Have two chars, one a high level archer, one a high level anything else you fancy, have the archer as a hero at the beginning of the strat when they are so powerful against lower gear, switch to other hero when everyone starts getting better armour and archers arent that strong anymore = 0 gold

It seems kind of silly that you would take the time and energy to sabotage strat.  I mean, some people run strat factions in the hope that there will be good experience later on, but you'd be doing the opposite.  DRZ is at least an active faction that produces battles, and whether you love them or hate them, they are needed.  But, I guess you hate exp, and that makes you UnAmerican and probably a terrorist.

Is it just me or does everyone else have no clue who this was aimed at?

Archery isn't even that strong honestly now, yeah individual archers can get some insane KDRs but when has that ever not been true for ranged in Strategus? The main reason archers are not broken is because you can't have too many of them or you get completely overwhelmed by melee and flag capped. I've been in a couple battles now where the enemy has had tons of range, and yep it's not very fun to play in but it's not good either because they got capped 1/2 way through due to being outnumbered considerably in melee pushes.

Ranged just don't die in strat often combined with the fact that when you get shot by ranged you get annoyed and remember it, so they look like they are being much more effective than they actually are. Even when there is tons of horses about do you really think cavalry kill ranged in strategus when they're laddering up on top of every building they can or camping on a massive hill in awful randomly generated field battles (90% of them)?

Just learn to accept that ranged players aren't Game Winners in strategus, just annoying, and if the enemy has tons of ranged keep trying to cap their flags and if you aren't bad you probably eventually will.

Helps if you're on the side that admins are using the show names cheat on and can easily pinpoint where enemies are to shoot at. 

Say that 3 times fast.

 Well that makes sense as to why that post made no sense

All of the soft(and hard) counters for archery are expensive compared to the relative ease of equipping an archer. Can we fix archery in strat to not be so Bullshit?

No then we would lose lol.

If there was never any horses, no archery is plenty capable. Cavalry is archeries main counter.

Shmeh... once armies start having enough money for horses, they also have enough money for ladders.  And as we saw last strat, that means insane ladder fortresses for archers to climb around in far beyond cav's reach.  And the only way to get them is with other archers or infantry pushes.  Ya cav make things harder for ranged, but they do FAR more damage to infantry formations, shield walls, etc.  That's why they got the price jacked up, had nothing to do with ranged.
