In-Game Description[]
Comparitively [sic], human archers are relatively average. With practice and experience, they may increase their proficiency with the bow, but, at best, the highest compliment given to a human archer is, "He has elven blood."
Strategy[]
There really is nothing special about the Human Archer. They will fill their required role adequately, but unlike many of the other races, they boast no additional abilities that are useful for combat, movement or otherwise. While having a number of archers is good early on, Human Musketeers with their longer range and more powerful attack are a far more effective unit in this role, once you have the gold income to produce and maintain them in large numbers.
Trivia[]
- The Human Archer performs the animation for their Archery ability more slowly than any other unit or hero in the game, seeming to take their time between shots. This could be an intentional choice to denote their lack of skill, though they are described as "average" in-game, the same as several other races' archers.
