![]() If Fiann or Rangers get a flank on a shield unit they.don't really do anything, they just fire too slowly and their arrows aren't terribly effective against the armor. If Veterans or Palatine Guards get a flank on a shield unit they'll shred it within seconds, and in Captain Mode you're probably only going to have a couple seconds to fire before you need to move. Without armor-piercing capabilities the Battanian archers just seem.lacking. Doubly so since with the Superior Bow Palatine Guard can literally just keep stun-locking Fiann. ![]() In an archery duel in Captain Mode they'll be straight up outshot by Palatine Guard and sometimes Veterans, because Captain maps don't have enough space for them to take advantage of their range and damage, so faster-firing bows are almost always better. They removed AP Arrows, which was a good decision, but I feel like Battanian archers currently are lacking something. ![]() Add the bonus from Strength 30 (+6) and the multiplicative bonus from proficiency, for example, 500 (1.6) and you get damage well over 100. Disregarding strength and proficiency, with Power Draw 10, a masterwork war bow firing Khergit arrows does 2.40 x ( 30 + 3) 79.2 damage. The Superior Bow has nearly as much damage, and in Captain Mode rate of fire is typically a better choice than damage Once again, I have no idea where these numbers come from. Veterans are fairly comparable to Palatine Guard, they both can get the Composite Bow, but there really isn't much reason to use it. ![]() ![]() Battanian bows typically have higher damage, better range, and better accuracy, but they have a very slow fire rate. It's because the Palatine Guard can use the Superior Bow. ![]()
