Class description

The Archer, a stronger version of the bowman that is now exclusively locked into going down the path of Archery and Gunmanship. Where it lost the diverse class path of its predecessor it makes up for it by unlocking the strongest ranged classes in the game. It's battle actions remain the same with a volley of arrows once per turn at a range of 2 squares or 3 square should the squad be present on a hill, Fort , Home Base and finally walls and 2 volleys at 1 range. The same upgrades affecting the bowman will also apply here: volleys going from 3 to 4 arrows resulting in a 33% damage increase with "Advanced Archery Technique" located under Tier 2 of "Tactics and Command". And "Army General" at tier 3 also of "Tactics and Command" allows the Bowman to gain both in mobility and the ability to ambush in rough terrain (Hills and Forests).
