It disgusts me how imbalanced cavalry vs spears are. Because of that, there's no comp that can counter knight+archer anymore. Game is completely busted. Horsman+spear supposed to be the counter, where spears mow down the knights (mounted samurai etc) with the aid of the horsemen, and then the horsemen can clean up the archers on the back line but the knights are too tanky and all the spears and horsemen get completely melted. It's stupid. Just go fast castle into knight+archer in every game. Or else you don't have a chance. Every other comp loses.
You counter knight+archer by going only full knights, rendering the archers useless and having bigger knight count. Horseman + spear also works but requires more managing and can fail if enemy micros better

Perhaps Springalds should counter cavalry instead of infantry.
