It depends on your strategy, in general, I'd say yes, but MAs are an absolute no-no.
Early on, archers are quite expensive and I'd simply use spears and swords. Later on, try using 1-2K archers in d-villages, they can help.
/facepalm.
I'd say you should have between 200-500 MAs in any decent nuke. Any more is too much.
You should build archers, but in your defense, Swords > Archers < Spears. Archers should not often make up the majority of your defense. I have seen archer defenses work quite well in the past, one downside is they take far longer to build.

Try the sim... MA are only good against the elusive pure archer build. (weakens against average defence)
This, MA are also respectable against spears. But, sp/ar is uncommon, sw/arch is much more likely./further counter facepalm
MA help reduce that iron deficiency you get when building nukes from all that LC.
And every unit is worth building.

No, they`re not worth building... SP/HC defense beats everything else by a mile.
Short answer: yes.hi

Hmmm, that is an interesting combo. I will have to run some sims with it and see hoe it does.I actually have a beautiful defensive strategy with sp,sw,arch,HC.
I believe is was
2000 HC
4800 Arch
2100 Sp
2100 sw
It breaks every rule, yet trains quickly, and provides a great defense. One that rarely ever gets cleared.
I second Lewder's /facepalm of you./counter facepalm

Sp/HC defense is the weakest defense you can possibly build. Using it means you need to stack a village with more of your d villages to withstand the same onslaught. Granted it travels faster than a sword defense, but even if you use a sp/ar/HC combo you will find it much more effective, without the travel penalty of using swords.No, they`re not worth building... SP/HC defense beats everything else by a mile.
^ThisIf you're not under attack at that point in time, substituting some spear for archers increases the defense strength by a fair amount, and they still stack at the same speeds.
I second Lewder's /facepalm of you.
Did you actually do what you told Lewder to do? If the defense is made of a significant amount of archers, call it 1/4 or more, you will actually kill more of the defense with a nuke containing just 250 MA than you will with a regular LC/axe nuke. The difference are slight, but more noticeable as the percentage of archers rise. With a defense of 50% or more, MA are invaluable. Add to that the fact that they help balance the iron deficiency of a nuke build(not by a lot, but hey, every little bit helps) and you can see some benefit to using them. As long as you keep the numbers to below 500, you won't lose too much overall power from your nuke, nor will you increase your build time greatly.
