Archery changes in dominions 6.

Piercing damage is 5% LESS effective
Bow archers get +1/2 strength instead of +1/3 strength to damage
Crossbowmen get a total of 65% armor reduction, bringing a sweet 24 protection down to a measly 8.4 effective protection
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Protection is hugely nerfed, which seems to open a window for archery to remain strong. Let's test this out.
