Can Skirmishers destroy a Castle?
Well, with "Obsidian arrows" researched you only need 50.
Lets see:

It works the same way with archers or plumed archers, but skirmishers don't cost gold.
And at post-imperial it works too, but you will need a few more archers if the enemy has Hoardings:

Other facts:
- 25 Archers/Skirmishers with "Obsidian arrows" destroy a stone wall faster than a Ram.
- With 30, you can destroy a FU Bombard Tower pretty fast.
- The bonus armor that buildings receive from masonry and architecture is ignored by archers with "obsidian arrows", they do 4 damage against buildings regardless if they have or not those techs.
