AI positioning doesn't consider bow range

[Moose]

Hello!

Enlisted as a freelancer in a Stormlander lord army. Seen ~8 major battles against Westerlands, and every time armies line up and stand watching each other.

I'd assume that's for archers to shoot each other, but the problem is, westerlander crossbowmen have enough range to shoot us, but stormlander bowmen don't. They just stand and look at their enemy. It makes the battle look silly, as the soldier just stand waiting to be murdered. After some time infantry does charge, but they suffer heavy casualties before that.

Is there any way to fix it?
