Skirmisher has no bonus against:

Elite Goblin Archer
Master Goblin Archer
Elite Orc Axe Thrower
Master Orc Axe Thrower
Uruk Archer
Uruk Archer 1
Uruk Archer 2
Uruk Archer 3
Skeleton Archer
Armored Skeleton Archer

Also he don't have bonus against skeletons archers.
And I think he should get a small bonus against dragons (at a rate of 50%) like troll headhunter has a bonus against dragons.

Right, skele archers. Adding to list. About dragon bonus we should probably ask alexander

Will check this weekend and fix

The human Skirmisher is unable to take on a unit that it even has a bonus against. The orc axe throwers, elven archers, and Undead ranged units in which the skirmishers are supposed to be able to defeat are staying the skirmishers instead.
The Human Skirmishers are unable to fight effectively, even against archers, with upgrades. I would ask for a rebalance of the skirmisher to take place please.

Skirmishers are supposed to be WEAK. See, you can upgrade them to increase their effectiveness. Also, a skirmisher cost 2 can kill an elf fire archer cost 4.

Just upgrade him to elite skrimisher and improve him in blacksmith.

I agree that the skirmishers need a revamp against archers. Anyway both skull throwers and axe throwers aren't archers...

Yeah he's using a shield, he should be able to defend himself from archers and other range unit, he's just not good at close combat.

I tried that... They got thrashed. I even outnumbered the elves 2-1. Their advantages:

Range, Damage, More Smith Upgrades (Yes, ai elves start w/ all upgrades regardless wether you set it up that way or not.

I am appreciative that you are taking action in this regard... Maybe I will be able to play Skirmishers again.
