I think monsters need to use skirmish by default and maybe cavalries should take less damage from archer fires by at least 50%.
Archers were nerfed not by a lot from all the hits I see. They were nerfed a bit. Maybe by 20% or so? They are definitely hitting a bit less than before but they still do quite a bit.
I think the biggest problem with archers is their range. Maybe lowering range of all ranged unit types by 1 would be nice.
