    okay i know this is a car forum but i have an ancient warfare question



    what I want to know is that when an enemy has mounted archers, what is an effective way to stop it in ancient times?

    cast a level 9 shield of the infinity, then follow with a level23 counter archer of the dark forest
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    Is this a Civilization 3 question? If so, I'd say get some swordsman fast.
    If not, then I'd use archers in the trees in guerilla style warfare.

    The elephants are a good suggestion because horses get uneasy around elephants

    except one time when pyrrhus used them and one of his elephants stampeded his own infantry to get to its offspring

    You can build Crypt Fiends and use their web as anti-air. Wait, I stopped playing Warcraft 2 years ago, and this is a completely different game.
