      I think it can be done with a good number of archers. I don't think it would be effective; I remember using Kushite archers behind a line of spears and pikes. But making a "Rush" without riders and without melee infantry to hunt lumberjacks seems difficult to me. And expecting the enemy to have no cavalry. Unlike AoE, cavalry is more prevalent in this game. Skirmish cavalry is quickly available. This is where you have to do some work to differentiate all the missile CS units. In the current game, cavalry is the best option to rush/raid farms and lumberjacks (warehouses). It would also help to nerf the LoS and introduce technologies to improve it again. This would make the enemy feel claustrophobic from not seeing anything and having more blind spots. It would be interesting to be able to hide archers and skimishers as it happened in Praetorians.

      Ideally, there should be different ways for archers to be good, not just one way.   Changing the subject, the champion pikes need to be better, I never chose pikes in a Seleucid reform.

      With Mauryas you could do it almost the entire game, dancing around nearby woodlines. Of course you need to really work it to the point where the enemy pocket comes to help. Thereby giving your ally all the time advantage to roll them at minute 12-13.    In 1v1s you can do both. Slowly adding melee when you're ready to capture. But it needs to be quick wherein enemy does not get eco time to tower all sides of the base. You could also do a small 3-4 minute rush and possibly take a barrack, retreat back and ecobot.   I've also tried doing Mercenary archers with Athens, Seleuids, Ptolemies and Macedonians and have had relative success and failure. Latter being due to my own mistakes. But all are fun strategies.

      I think all archer civs needs boosting to encourage better and diverse strategies. We can exclude Persians since they have javelinners, but then we could keep them as an outlier archer civilization since they don't need to rely on archers.  Same with the Carthaginians who have mercenary slingers, but Carthaginian players who ecobot are almost always a burden on the team. But I'd like archers to be boosted in some way to encourage archer-centric strategies.

      @ffm2Interesting statistics.  Do you know what the numbers are for active unique players per day, week and month? (Maybe 1 game and/or more)

      Yes. When metal surplus, also with Agis Neodomades are extremely cheap. Very very cheap. 50 food 35 metal. You could use them to quickly repop all spearmen maybe little javs. But usually the game never lasts that long and Neo Hoplites do not provide any decisive advantage to break end game.

      @Classic-Burger in more high-level multiplayer games, 200 population might be reached by 11-13 minutes. Typically rushes in these games are between 2 and 5 minutes.
