I recently sent 150,000 archers to reinforce a city that was being attacked and they got wiped out buy a cavalry force half its size. My question is why?
I can see this happening if both forcese are fighting out in the open, but when the Archers are defending behind castle/fortress wall and the Cavalry is in the open shouldn't the Archers have the advantage then? Do they and at one point when the city is beat down enough its like fighting in the open? or is it a situation where the archers can only fight from archer towers?
