Archery Level in Relation to Horseback Riding level

Until your archery research reaches level 10 keep your horseback riding research level at least 2 levels below the level of archery. This prevent crazy losses in farming npc's with ballistas and transports among other archer loss anomalies that I have yet to be able to explain but can be prevented by following this simple rule.

For the best combination of ballistas and transports to use in farming NPC's I recommend the following link. Be sure to know your research levels for: LOGISTICS, ARCHERY, MILITARY TRADITION, & HORSEBACK RIDING when determining what to send to farm the npc. ~~~EVERYTIME YOU LEVEL UP RESEARCH IN ONE OF THESE FOUR AREAS REFER BACK TO THIS LINK TO DETERMINE WHAT TO ATTACK WITH ~~~
