Roman archers

Hello! As I understand, we are playing romans as "republican romans". In the book of Roman Republic history (Tadeusz Stefan Zieliński) I have read that romans (while they were under siege) were use arrows versus unarmored elephants. So... Do you planning to add some kind of archers to roman units list? What about other non-archer civs? Maybe you should add some weak types of them?

Delenda Est gives archers to the Republican Romans as mercenaries from Crete. They look different from other Cretan Archers--more Roman/Italian--reasoning that they would wear more "Roman" attire while under their service.

well techically when you are under siege in 0 AD, you use arrows too. all fortification shoot arrows.

I must admit that is very odd... The non-archers civilizations shoot arrows from buildings. Devs, you are really should do something with that inconsistency. It's remind me Skyrim shooting with riekling spears from bow.

I don't think this is such a big issue.
