    Default AW: What are the best archers?

    Syrians are the best archers, and Cretans are the best in melee.

    Nah, Komatai Agrianai are better in meele, they use celtic longswords thus=super ownage.

    I'd say Syrians are the best, with Komatai Agrianai in a close 2nd.
    I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.

    Don't the Komatai use the sica blade?

    The javelin-tossing kind do. The Agrianai diss them for being Old Skool and show off their bling-bling Celtic longswords.

    The syrinas aren't the best archers, they have missile 4, so do archer spearmen, most other eastern and steppe foot achers have 5 (including indians), and Kretikoi have 6.

    I've just taken at look at Arkatreides' relevant unit card.

    The Cretans indeed have a higher missile value compared to the Syrians: 6 versus 4, however they have only 20 arrows versus 25. They also have significantly less armour, from the looks of it they'd get butchered by the Syrians. And that's not even considering the fact that they have less men per unit.

    I've seen one unit of Syrians on a hill virtually wipe out two full units of Shuban Fradakshana (the eastern slinger guys) in a straight firefight - all the while all but ignoring the arrows no less than two units of mercenary steppe horse-archers poured into them. Eventually I simply ran out of ammunition and had to go dig out those guys (and their spearman mates) the hard way.

    Infantry archers + decent armour = Teh Win.

    Well the Cretans still have more men per mnai than the Syrians. But for an archery duel the Syrians would surely win due to the armor, as well as more arrows and longer range.
