Unit Description
Archers are the standard missile unit for the majority of factions in Viking Invasion. They are nothing special, having identical stats to the regular MTW archers, but in the low tech era of VI they can serve well if properly managed.

Archers use the standard short bow, so they are best used on unarmoured targets. They can be used to outrange the Irish missile units, and can be used to weaken the more elite melee troops like beserkers and gallowglasses.

TBD - this is the first missile unit that I'm putting in. I'll use this one to experiment and finalize the layout before going through the process of adding the rest of the units.
