Another possibilitie if your archer are superior and your magic could hold your own against thiers is to form a shieldwall, form a circle on the field heavy guys outside and light inside, let your archers rain a hail of death and defend the circle to your lastbreath, you had a chance to hold but only if youre are not outgunned, if they have superior or at least equal firepower it could be a death trap. Ä'If not you had at least a glorious and honorable battle.And  destroy their ballistas before you try this.Combine those ttactics with the casting of sanctuary( Shieldwall), fear( deepunit) and a concentrated archer fire, `try to get one part down, don`t concentrate on enemy arcghers itisn`t usually worth it, but the hail of death could bring the formation in disorder.Oh and train, train and then train again.</blockquote>
