Agreed, but also noticed earlier. As I previously said, the real strength of the Norse Archer, is their early arrival in your armies, making them a fairly good choice as both archer and swordman.
I'm not sure, but based on the rest of the Turkish rooster, I would assume that Ottoman infantry is a 3lvl unit, thus making it a less interesting unit compared to other availabilities on the same castle level.
