Give archers shives at point blank

Archers still using their bows to shoot at point blank range is a bit unrealistic and also a factor for mass ranged being hard to counter by their counters.

Make them pull shives or small swords to fight in point blank range should do only small damage like villagers . That way they will be weaker if horsemen or other units manage to close the distance.

I remember it was like that when the game first came out. The tooltip still has that information. They later removed that feature because archers can’t do anything when they’re approached.
