    Should I Purge Bowmen once I have Longbowmen

    I've got 110 bowmen and 31+ longbowmen.
    I never seem to bother bringing the bowmen anymore, I always find that cavalry, recruits, or militia seem to be a better choice.
    So, I feel like the bowmen are pretty much wasted population.

    Is there a purpose bowmen serve? or should I throw them all away in a first wave on a boss run and not bother replacing them?
    Chuck is the next boss I'm planning to fight.

    after you get longbows, bowmen become disposable troops. Their main function becomes to absorb trample (attacks weakest target) to save the longbows / crossbows.

    If there's less than 30-40 dogs / trample -- you can use the longbows/crossbows with some bowmen to take the 1st round of damage.
