The Archer is a ranged unit belonging to the Medieval Faction. They have long range, are pretty accurate, and do a good amount of damage per hit. They are the main basic ranged unit in the game. In the Pre-Alpha, their cheaper counterpart were the Poachers.

Usage
Archers have long range and do good damage per shot, not to mention, they are pretty accurate as well. Archers can kill most units in either 1 - 2 hits and get more accurate the closer the enemy approaches. Archers will need cover to be able to kill as many units as possible - Place your melee units in front to try to distract and harm the enemy army whilst the Archers fire at them. Also, Archers can't take many hits so try to protect them if you can (assuming they don't kill themselves. The archers can be regarded as one of the strongest cheap ranged units in the game, beating the Spearthrower in price and accuracy, as well as beating out the catapult, cannon, ballista, and other similar siege engines in combat, due the the quick reload.
