Evaluating archers.

What are you talking about?! If we're talking about USEFULNESS, not just the high level of archers, then the situation is as follows: I see 3 castles that heavily rely on archers, namely the Castle, Rampart, and Tower.
For the Dungeon, the most important units are Trolls, not Archers. Even though there are 2 archer units (as proven by Lebron :D)
That's the gist of it.

The Dungeon is unique in that out of its 4 lower-tier units, 3 are archers (the Harpy and Witch are also archers), and plus, it's not a problem if enemies get close:smile10:. If you ban Shakti, then the Dungeon might suddenly turn out to be an archer castle just as good as the Rampart or Castle, or even the Tower. Perhaps that's why Ajit doesn't get Archery skills quickly, Lorelei (who is worse than Valeska?) had her Scouting skill nerfed, and there's no specialist for Medusas at all.
