This confuses me, dragur and skeletons can both be archers.

Difficulty settings are supposed to be coming. I see no reason why "I just want to build stuff" shouldn't be an option, when there's options then having that takes nothing away from players looking for the default "brutal" experience. There's also players interested in a much harder experience, are they in the wrong game because of middle-of-the-road default balance?
