Sure, if you have a specialized unit such as Huskarl, then it could be easy. But what are Atlantians supposed to do? I spammed pure cav (including hero cav) against pure Archer deathball + Minotaurs all game and still lost. My opponent(s) never saw the need to make anything other than archers. Destroyers work but only if you get to Mythic and get the 50% pierce tech for them. Cherioballista seem too weak although I haven’t tried them yet. Is there any other option other than Turma? What is the point of even having Cav if they don’t even counter Hades archers? Seems like everyone and their grandma (at my Elo level) are spamming Hades and making only archers on ranked. And you can’t rush due to his sentinels.
Turma and Contarius are really good at countering Archers.
Turma outrange Toxotes even with Hades bonus.
Turma are a little cheaper, have more HP and deal a lot more damage vs. Toxotes then they deal against them.
It sounds more like you are very far behind in eco.
Cheiroballista are only good against Infantry.
Contrarius aren’t good. Next time I will try going Leto and the pierce armor Leto tech. Archers (Toxotes) are not considered 'infantry? Toxotes rate of fire got nerfed today in the patch, maybe now they aren’t as awful.
Archers are not considered Infantry in AoM just Archers.
The only unit that is both Archer and Infantry is the Axe Thrower.
