Archer Feudal raid formation
Archer: Archers can disrupt a Feudal economy by picking off exposed Villagers and infantry before they reach melee range. They gain strength in a group, but are poor at attacking buildings and vulnerable to cavalry or Skirmishers.
Overview
Archer: Archers can disrupt a Feudal economy by picking off exposed Villagers and infantry before they reach melee range. They gain strength in a group, but are poor at attacking buildings and vulnerable to cavalry or Skirmishers.
Plan and execution
Create a compact group, add relevant ranged upgrades when the timing allows, and target a woodline or gold camp with an escape route. Use a small screen against Scout Cavalry and move to a new resource when the defender walls the first one.
Risks and adaptation
Do not attack a completed wall or sit under Town Center fire. Scout for Skirmishers and cavalry, and stop producing Archers if the opponent has already closed the route.
