I've never defended so i cant really answer this, but i know when attacking the moment you get inside, the archers hold fire and just act as melee troops and telling them to fire at will breaks the auto delegate and they just stand at the walls. perhaps while defending they do the same thing?

No, when I single out archers, they have fire allowed, and they can shoot, the fact is that they scatter to their places, some on towers and others near the walls, but I can't order them, they just don't listen to commands,Just when the walls are occupied by the enemy and I want to step back to another line,the archers who were standing On the first ruble, others die and go to replace them, thereby simply dying against the infantry.

Exactly my problem too! I managed to get more of my archers where I wanted them but as soon as the 1st set of walls fell to the Enemy more of my Archers would ignore my orders to just try and run to the Fallen/Lost wall.... only to get brutally slaughtered

experienced this today and had to look if others had this problem too, it sucks since it takes most of your impact as a player away from siege defense, making it just a numbers game. hope it gets fixed or reverted with the coming patches
