Thema: Archers and weapons
What is the best weapon to arm archers with, and at what level do the they become available?
I know that slings give better range attack etc. But does anything better become available?
Cheers!

The game is not really balanced so you better don't upgrade any archery's.
Try using the wind runes for barracks, footmen are way better and usefull in battle.
Also, if you're human i would advice you to reset and go dark elf.
The elves are more powerfull and since they only use 1 item of armoury or weaponry way cheaper to equip as well.
Like i said, elfs are overpowerd as compared to humans.
Archers or wiches are underpowered compared to footmen.
Your village is 38100% bigger than the defending village. You will probably lose 90 honour by attacking this village. If someone of your clan attacked this village earlier, every clan member will lose honour.

Thanks Demonic. That is very useful information.
I don't feel like resetting at the moment, I'm kind of enjoying the human condition thus far. But I'll see how it goes. 
If I destroy the archeries to re-use the runes, will the archers stay in the village/regiment, or will they get wiped too?

The archers stay till they die off. You just won't be able to make new ones without the buildings.

Thanks invisibleman. That is what I hoped would happen.
Re: Archers and weapons
also upgrading slings(at least last i checked) is wayyyyyy over priced, they ask a kings ransom in gems, which have far better uses then slings.. plus archers(which in reality can be a battle changer(for example English longbows were devasting to enemies, and argueably the best troop to have in battle, the other option is of course heavy cavalry)). Plus soaking rains makes them worthless as defenders. oh and they only fire one volly then goto melee

Re: Archers and weapons
Yeah the sling upgrades are extortionate at 20,000 gems for the first one, seeing as we can only have 10% gem capacity in the silos.
I was hoping longbows or arrow upgrades would become available at some point. Or at least a weapon that gives some defence like the spear or pike.
What about if we could have some crossbows?

Re: Archers and weapons
Crossbows would be a nice killer to for example an heavy armor bonus?
Can't you see that tiny black dot????
