I'd love to hear your take on this:

Foot skirmishers need three things to be effective: Time, range and babysitting. The first can easily be denied by a decent player that invests in infantry and cavalry rather than skirmishers, as can the second. The third requires you to have an infantry or cavalry advantage.

When all your forces are engaged and the enemy has reserves due to not having skirmishers, you might find yourself overwhelmed.
