Rangers or Marksmen?

[Phil85]

I just got the event asking me to convert my archers. I don't know that stats, but I picked marksmen over rangers. I'm worried that marksmen can be killed by ranged attacks too easily. Should I go back and pick rangers?

shameless bump

Marksmen. It's like the Marksmen are firing real arrows and the Rangers are using nerf arrows.

LOL. No concerns about them being class canons?

Not really, you need a unit that can wipe out a squad of enemy troops more than you need one that can take a hit. It's only really an issue against mage generals.

Yea, that's what I was worried about. Maybe I'll just not use them against mage generals.

Marksmen + Mage general = SAD demons. Just box them in and let them do their job. Cuirassiers, Shield Bearers, Devas(or anything else that heals) and Bards are what you're looking for. If you mansge to get Master of Maneuver 3, take another ranged unit like Headhunters.

Dude, Bard crusade units are useles. Here is why:

Bards have low initiative (2), meaning they go after both Marksmen and Rangers who both have 4 initiative. So in first round, shooters are not going to get buffed, unless you delay your shooters. And you don't want to delay shooters turn, because it allows enemy units to survive longer, and possibly deal more damage to you.

Also, +3 to attack is not much at the point when you get bards. Espetialy for Marksmen that relibly hit most enemy anyway.

Actualy, i am not mad that Bards are useles. It's kind of DnD meme.
