Before kawoni answers your question,I'll answer the part where you said you don't feel like recruiting archers and ma because there are no books for archers.
Archers early suck.They are expensive.HC is expensive as well.You don't make def with hc early.SP SW is the way to go.
Later as you reach 5-10-20-100 villages etc, this changes.everything is cheap as you already have big pits,probably good farming,so plenty of res.You make archers,you make hc.
At 100 villages you reach the maximum number of paladins,10.That means 10 buffed villages.The difference they make is small.Imagine bigger worlds where people get to 1k villages.those 10 paladins are useless.And books for sp sw help more than books for archers in early stages of the world.
But you should recruit archers,at least some.Use the simulator to find builds you like and use them.Archers are good enough without books anyway.
Still,if sp and sw have books,archers should too,I am not sure why inno games didn't add books for them.But I believe the reason is the fact that archers and MA are a optional setting and when they added the new paladin,they added books that can be used on both versions with or without archers.
