Yes, these was a new game under 0.86. Multiple new games, actually. In every city defense, mages and archers do not take part in tactical battles. Very repeatable.

Hmm... I am updated to 0.86, but still having the same problem.

Ranged Units Don't Participate in City Defense? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I'm not entirely clear why my ranged units don't take part in city defense. This has cost me several cities, as suddenly my garrison of archers turns out to be useless. Is this a bug, or a purposeful design choice?

Just another voice to chime in that I feel leaving MP out was a fine idea. The unfortunate truth, as others have mentioned, is that when games such as this decide to go the MP route, you fundamentally change the nature of the game. Multiplayer CIV is, for all intents and purposes, a wargame. I'd rather have a solid SP experience, and the possible addition of PBEM in the future rather than a shoddy SP experience and MP from the get-go.
