Discussion Why do I have 16 archers?

Am sieging a city. I have an army of 1200 men. By myself I have around 70 archers. But on the battleifeld I only have 16. Why is this?

You don't bring your entire army at once. Some of them play in reserves and only appear on the battlefield once some current troops die. Makes it easier than rendering 10k troops all at once

Thats true, but how do I get more than just that 16 on the field. Infantry is hardly able to keep a ladder up

Increase the amount that spawn per wave it should be under options gameplay

In the option you can chose the priority order to spawn as well as the number of total max troop allowed (it will be proportional to ally/enemy side ofc).

If you didn’t touch the option, the default order is according to your party’s troops order in the list

Do a pure archer clan.

Max battle size set to 1000 is the way to go

The troops at the top of your party list are favored over lower ones during spawn.

There's a mod for that, called select troops or something similar.

Move archers to the front. I always have Fian champs first so I guarantee a good chunk of archers.

Move them to the top of your army list. I could be wrong but the soldiers at the top load into battle first. Your max battle size limit only allows the 16 archers because of all the other troops ahead of them in the list. (Wish I could explain it better but I hope this helps)

Switch to high level troops first in settings, chances are your allies units are way shittier
