This way the 50 archers can be scary as every once in a while you get a spike in damage.[MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION], in my experience 4e has said 'that nasty master archer you faced at first level? now that you are 15th level he is still a threat but easy to beat ...because he is a minion now. My campaign has the PCs facing archer platoons, literally hundreds of enemies, as epic level swarms. The rules let you model the sort of threat the creatures are to the PCs, not define the creature. YMMV, of course.</blockquote>
