... alright, i will concede that. but such things aare not common place, and no, it does not take years to become a proffiecent longbowmen. England in particular trained its peasantry via competions every week in every village, town and city. crossbows lack sufficent range, we do not want to be that close to them early on. I was using general european Armies. Longbows became standard after agincourt.

I still believe the tried and tested, schiltron, pits, and archers will bring druella down, with cavalry to flank them once the their frontlines have engaged the Pikemen. If we can put some terrain to slow them down, the better.

cannons are rare, so i doubt we can rely on wining our battles with them. they are best suited for siege, imo.

if the order are not based on either English, french or polish/swiss armies, then i dont think they have a hope in hell. I think they are based on standard european armies (that is, a combination of all the above.)
