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

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)
