Maybe I'm too concerned with losses (more then 10% of a stack is considerd way to much in my book..).
Two questions from this:
- What is an acceptable loss (number of units (% of stack))
- How do you deal with ranged attackers to minimize losses?
Thanks

If I know there are plenty more of the units I can buy, I don't mind if they get slaughtered (like peasants, and a little later, archers and swordsmen). At least in normal difficulty, money is not an issue
There are several ways to deal with ranged attackers:
- Shroud spell, they will try and get away from the area
- Totems from shamans, archers almost always try to shoot them
- blind/hypnosis/sheep spells
- phoenix next to them
- 'Target' spell will make them shoot the unit you designate (I think)
