When you run tests to see which units are better/ more efficient for the price you have to realise that there are different scenarios for all battles/ skirmishes, some units are better for large armies, where others are good on one on one situations or in small / enclosed areas, so when running tests you have to not just put 2 units against eachother, you must try one out in the open, one in a cavern, one 10vs10 one 20vs20. I was wondering what you guys think is better, mainly for large player vs player battles on servers, dunlending axe throwers or dunlending archers. They both cost equal amounts and my tests have found that the axe throwers are better in most scenarios. In a 1v1 rohirim archer vs dunlending axe thrower, the archer will win if they are out in a flat plain, but in a place where the axe thrower wont get knocked back so he is out of range, the axe thrower will win with 10-13 health remaining, because hes hits deal 3-4 damage where as archers hits only deal 1. But the range, axe throwers have less range. So what do you think would make a better squadron? A squadron of archers or a squadron of axe throwers(I am a dunlending and I want to know what would be better for a war against swan knights)
