What to do with the archers stack

I think that's pretty much a given.

Uh, it is isn't it?

Please don't tell me we're going to try to sack three French capitals in a row. I now UnOrthy has a grudge to settle but sheesh!

Joan of Arc-"I know, LeFrogge. We must move the capital. Fortunately, after the third move we installed everything on wheels..............."

Aggie: I've got two minor suggestions. I know they're obvious but I just want to make sure you put them into your orders in case you forgot to:
1. Once the spearman gets into position south of Rheims it should fortify.
2. Not all four archers can move to Rheims this turn. One has exhausted its movement points when it took Orleans. I suggest that the archers stack waits an additional turn for this archer to arrive so that they can attack with full might (with 4 archers instead of just 3).

Would you consider waiting 1-3 turns to set orleans into order? I understand that with archers it is best to move fast, but orleans is in disorder and without some units spending 1-3 turns it will stay as such.

We're already leaving a spearman (the wounded one) and the archer that's already there as garrisons. I'm afraid we can't spare any more units if we want to capture Rheims.

I understand. Just wishfull thinking. I want everything, and I want it now.....

god king as metioned by Shiber i will wait a turn before moving the army anywhere. So I will move the army into aorleans. Hoipefully the presense of 4 offinsive units will do the job in one turn. I will leave an archer there regardless. Also upon review I decided if we don't move n immediately we will move S since chartes is in the jungle it is a harder target. I want an easy target since this attack is an extra optional attack. Ofcourse rohen could pop rush making the whole attack useless anyway. Since my order are to only attack if the city can be taken and a size 1 city w/o culture can' be.
