Syrian Archers? Don't they have only 4 missile attack? The purpose of an archer is first and foremost to provide strong missile support and Syrian archers don't have enough attack to effectively do that. Syrian archers are one of the weaker missile units in EB. As for their armour and melee capabilities (which are pretty high for an archer unit), you don't actually throw them into melee, do you? that would seem like a waste of talent to me. There is infantry for that.

In my opinion, they are underrated and the EB team should have given them 5 missile attack.
