i dont have a big prob with the kiting, its that archers do way more damage then melee, and glance way less.
Longbow, strongest bow aviable to archers, loomed 3 times, shooting bodkins, the most damage dealing arrows against armored targets, also loomed three times.
Base damage: 36 p

Longbow with loomed tatars, highest cut damage archers can achieve.
Base damage: 41 c

And most important losing a ton of damage over range.
More damage than melee ? Interesting then that I only ever saw
melees destroying doors and gates on siegemaps. Perhaps we should start positioning walls of archers in front of gates to gun them down in no time.
