Unit Description
Pictish Crossbows are the missile infantry of the Picts. Their fire rate is slow, but prolonged and concentrated fire can decimate even heavily armoured units. They should be kept out of combat however, unless used as a last resort.

Crossbowmen have the same range as Archers, but reload much slower, so it is not advisable to get into a shooting match with them. Crossbows are more effective against armoured units, and can cause a great amount of damage to the heavy infantry of the Vikings.
