Unit Description
Golden Horde Warriors are available to the Golden Horde once they arrive. They serve as the basic infantry for the Golden Horde. While their arrows will not do too much damage to armoured units, Golden Horde Warriors can keep a steady rate of fire at decent range and whittle down lightly armoured enemy troops. They are equipped with large shields which give them an advantage in archer duels. Golden Horde Warriors are good hybrid troops, they will perform well as archers and also in melee combat. Since they are Disciplined and have good morale, they are dependable and can fill many roles in battle.
Golden Horde Warriors should be deployed in two rows for maximum effectiveness. This allows them to fire their bows optimally and also readies them for melee. The option to Skirmish depends on how they are to be used. Once the decision has been made to send them into melee, Skirmish should be turned off.

The bow Golden Horde Warriors use does not have any armour piercing bonus, so firing on heavily armoured units will have minimal effect. They also fire on an arc, which means the shot takes a while to reach the target and can miss fast moving units altogether. Archer effectiveness will suffer in rainy weather.
