Thinking Archers Need Nerfs

With about 70+ of them and maybe a few supply carts, they'll never die unless a mortar can 1-2 shot them and they'll raze a building (even higher hp buildings) nearly instantly...70 archers at, let's say, ~30 damage is 2100 DPS on buildings and 8400 on any sort of defender. Maybe keep the damage vs defenders but nerf their damage vs buildings. As maybe another addition, add more Soldier vs Horseman power so that the soldier's power vs them is more defined and wont just get dumped on by a horseman...weakness, my butt.

The reason I posted this is because the only time I've been getting raided is through mass-archer raids and it's getting pretty cheesy/ridiculous. There's only two attackers on my list (extending to ~4 days ago) that didn't have archers as their main point of offense against buildings (aka, their archers are not the most troop count by far).

To Summarize:

-Soldier vs Horseman buff (one ordinary soldier should be able to take out one ordinary horseman of the same tier if they can't already, with ease) as well as a tooltip update for soldiers v horseman damage
-Archer vs Buildings+Walls/Maybe Horseman nerf or a unit cap on archers (I'd rather the nerf, tbh)

But while I'm making a topic about buffs/nerfs, if you could update the AI of troops ignoring holes in the wall because another building is closer behind a wall 10 cells down from that hole, that'd be great too.

For a concentrated player, an archer raid can very easily just wipe out >half someone's base with proper placements, and that becomes far more likely on British troops with +1 range with a tier-up on you. Suddenly a cannon here and there seems pretty useless compared to 28 archers (2 cannons worth) dealing more dps at farther ranges.

I'd like to see some actual variation in attack patterns, not hive-minding/following what some kid on youtube is showing you to be a cheesy strat. And I don't care about the resources or trophies they steal, the 'strategy' itself just bothers me.
