Archers and ROTS

Hey.

I am starting a game in ROTS. And I wonder if anyone wrote a comprehensive guide for it anywhere?
cant fint any, not like frogbeasties guide to shogun 2.

As far as i get it, swords beats naginatas, naginatas are like spears they loose to all infantry, but are large in numbers,
Monks beat everything except samurais.
Mounted naginatas beats everything except naginatas.
Samurai beats everything except mass numbers.

Samurai beats every archer unit on 1 unit vs 1 unit condition.

I also tried a duel between monk archers and samurais, and the monk arhers failed to deal any damage to the samurai, only about 7 out of 45 men died, many shots simply failed to kill anyone, even though the shots clearly hit, "blood was flying"

Is there anyway to increase the lethality of archers in shogun 2, in game, or in the game files somehow. Anyone have any clue?
I really miss the early version of shogun 2 when the archers could do massive amounts of damage, i mean, after all, the samurais dont use shields, it SHOULD be devestating

Weird

in my game Monk Archer always owned others archer as usually since their range is far superior and deadly accurate arrows.

To be honest, if I have opportunity to train Monk Archer, I will always choose them more than Samurai.

Maybe there oddly they will lose to Samurai because their numbers is lower than Samurais.
