True, archers really require something to protect them (not only Elephants, but also Cavaliers and infantry can be considered, price and speed-wise), yet this is still negligible as soon as there are meatshields (against cavalry, their archnemesis, boosted Pikes/Halbs do miracles ;) ); after all, most(foot) archers are fragile to a certain extend, especially at late levels when siege and lightning bruisers appear.

Mind you, when I refered at range, it was not just the Archery Range (which is indeed lame..), I refered to ranged warfare in general. They at least get the above-mentioned siege, good if frail Cavalry Archers (at least they receive access to Parthian Tactics), and Arambais.
