One of the old Generals of PeL used to walk around with 80-90 SF at around 1,800 CS. He would literally shred monster hordes to pieces before they could even get close.
Yeah, ranged units are definitely the way to go on Dwilight, if one can get them strong enough! Its a nice counterbalance to the rest of the islands, where archers are somewhat under-used I suspect. Sorry for the divergence
