Archers inflict damage from afar and have great utility in both offensive and defensive applications. These professional soldiers unleash volleys of arrows which are especially devastating to light footmen and levies. Archers must be protected from both light and heavy cavalry, and should be positioned in such a way as to avoid melee combat with any hostile regiment. Archers excel in hilly terrain, forests, and taiga.
