Bowmen are rightly feared for the casualties they can inflict, but they are vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat.
Overview
Bowmen are rightly feared for the casualties they can inflict, but they are vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat. They are drawn from the peasant classes of all societies, as these are the people who need to be skilled hunters in order to survive. Learning to use a bow well is something that takes a lifetime and constant practice, and putting food on the table provides good practice. They are best used to weaken enemy formations, or placed in a spot where they can retreat and find protection from other troops.
Details
Bowmen are exactly the same as the standard archers used by other factions. they are basic archers and do a decent job against more lightly armored enemies. unlike other standard archers these ones are trained rather than untrained, so they will react slightly faster.
