Archers have either 120 meters or 170 meter range(long range)

Cretans are nice but check out the Gauls and Egyptians too

[Sin Qua Non]

Archer Auxilia, Cretan Archers, Forester Warband, Pharoah's Bowmen, and Chosen Archer Warband all have a range of 170. All other foot archers havea range of 120, like stated above. Correct me if I happened to miss any, but I think that's it.

Balearic and Rhodian slingers have a range of 120. All other slingers have a range of 80.

Hi everyone

After taking the archers with the longest range I think you need to grade them by their missile attack values which will bring Forester Warband out on top:

Forester Warband 15
Pharaoh's Bowmen 14
Chosen Archer Warband 12
Cretan Archers 11
Archer Auxilia 9

Your archers WILL shoot your infantry in the back, even with 1/2 a unit's width between IF...

a) your two units are on a hill, with your archers higher up than you infantry, and
b) if your archer's target is in front of your infantry, and thus lower still on the hill.

The archers seem to ignore the arch and shoot line-drive THROUGH your infantry to hit the nme infantry lower down on the hill.
