one thing to consider is the relative cost of archers.
Archers take a long time to train and use many arrows which are expensive.
In greek times the archers where one of the most expensive units.
In medival times production techniques where good enough that they where cheap.
Consider where in the range your archers fall, if it's towards the medival group then longbows might be possible, but that makes archers expensive again (at least a decade of training is needed for the longbow)
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
