Historical Description[]
Archery has been around for at least 12,000 years, and probably much longer. The ancient Egyptians used bows and arrows as far back as the Predynastic period, and other elder countries like China and India employed them from the earliest periods of their history. Until the advent of gunpowder, Bowmen were the primary troops on the battlefield. Their speed, stopping power, and range far outperformed spears, javelins, and of course the lowly sling.

Attacking Strategies[]
- Bowman has low health; making them vulnerable to defenses. Use Heavy Infantry as meat shields to protect the Bowman.
- Bowman is cheap and can be used to set off hidden enemy traps.
- Use Bowman to protect heavy infantry from other infantry so your Heavy Infantry won't get distracted.
- Since Bowman can deal more damage to foot troops, bringing some along with Heavy Infantry and/or Heavy Cavalry will help deal with pesky defending foot troops!
- Make sure to keep the Bowman behind your 'meat shields' or away from danger.
Defensive Strategies[]
- Bowman can be used as good Alliance Troops. One example is that they can shoot over walls to attack troops of the attackers forcing the troops to destroy the wall to kill them. Another thing is that they're good against other Heavy Infantry.
