Why all the archers stay on one side ???

[ElBarto56]

I have many archers but each night, they stay on the right side, so my left gets entirely destroyed...How do I assign them to 1 side ?

You can't assign them to one side. When recruits pick up a bow, they automatically choose a side (the game tries to balance both sides), and that's it. There are some instances where an archer will switch side, but it's only in specific situations and again it's not something you can control ;)

They don't, you are either lying/horribly over-exaggerating or encountering a bug. They get somewhat-evenly distributed on both sides.

Abseloutly not. On my left side, i have only archers in my tower. All the foot archers stack up on the right with the knights

It looks like you have two knights on right side. Every time you get a knight, 3 (or 4, dont remember now) archers will be assigned to them. So for 2 knights 6 or 8 archers will always join them first before moving to other areas.

Tip:
-dont get knights until you have a lot of archers.
-get one knight on both sides to spreed archers around

Yep, that's right, you don't have enough archers. You shouldn't recruit knights with such a low number of archers: if they can't recruit enough archers from their side, archers from the other side will join them. Which explains why the archers on the left side left their post and joined the right side.

Also, a word of advice: you need way WAAAAAY more archers than that if you want to win the game ;)

Well, in this case you have no archers - the game doesn't count those that occupy towers or accompany knights as free roaming archers - those get evenly distributed on both sides. You should be able to tell the difference from them walking around and those in towers for example staying there the whole day.

Iam having the same Problem. This cost me my last run.

One side got butchered, and even after 10 Nights they didnt equal it out. The few Recruits ou get are not enough to replace a overrun army.

As there is no way to order Knights to change the side, this is a little bit nonthense tbh.

Right Side, Bunch of Army
