While previous, I could understand the arguements of archers are over powered, 1.08b the archers could not shoot themselves! I have yet, as Empire, to have a squad of archers hit anything! Even units that have much less than the archer's attack rating.
Please fix this one very soon
There was a bug in v1.08b. This was patched tonight to address this (along with some other combat related issues). Unfortunately, it's only in the release version of v1.08 (the beta won't get updated until Monday). If you don't want to wait until Monday you can reinstall with the "show pre-releases" turned off.
Something happened to the archers. There was another update today (I had already updated to 1.08), and I had an archer 4-man group with attack 24, using longbows attacking a group with defense 8, for 15 rounds, 30 attacks nothing but misses!!! Do I need to restart another game now that this one is on turn 200ish? I should've hit just about every time with 24 vs 8.
How does that work with saves? From your post, I am guessing not so well.
I understand how it all happens. I program as well and usually under crazy deadlines. You can either hit home runs or not so much. Overall I see a big improvement in the beta on the ai buiding an empire/kingdom if you let them. I should have taken out the Yithril while they were weak and now they have rebounded. Don't they know I am the one true and rightful ruler of the world?!
It is getting there, keep it up.
I'll just wait until Monday. I'll skip using archers right now and continue testing the game... But I feel rather sour about new bugs all over the place. 
yeah archers got nerfed completely in the last patch. Don't use em until (hopefully) the next one. At least it's easier to make money now to get bigger armies going....
