Horse Archers!

Intro- In medieval ages, horse archers were the raiders and dominated the plains of western europe. they were fast and dangerous, with the ability to sting from far away.

Its a well known fact that catapults are way too overpowered. suggestions have been made to "nerf" them, but i don't think thats the way to go. we need a counter unit, which is where horse archers come in. they can quickly raid and slip in and out of the catapults range.

i think they should have stats around this-
life: 300 (double infantry, and a bit less then regular cavalry)
Attack: 120
Defence: 150 (there speed makes them evasive)
Range: 600 (no reason to be more or less than regular archers)
Speed: 300 (again same as cavalry)
Overload: 60 (they carry a bow)
Crop Consumption: 5? this is the one i'm not sure about.

thoughts please!

That is a neat idea but it would be very hard for them to change and make that a troop

lol wouldn't be to hard unless their beginner programmers. It would just make it unbalanced..

Mounted archers sounds cool but when you've got cav crossing the board in 2 turns (as most will when they level up), the amount of dmg done in those two turns from bows is minimal.

Yea cavs r pretty much the counter to cats

Yes and 1 troop of each is the counter to cavs

really i just use infantry againts cavs but back on topic

unless you are saying to replace normal archers, i dont really see a place for a fifth type of soldier in my opinion. . .would rather improve normal archers in some way:)

yea archers need to be put out of troops and it be replaced (or upgrades)

well archer and cats loose power in a close battle... if they cross field in 2 turns they got a few close battles
