The [[{{PAGENAME}}]] is the [[Elves]]' [[Advanced Units|advanced]] [[Ranged Units|ranged troop]].

== Use ==
{{PAGENAME}} have the most impressive stats of any defensive unit.  Combined with favorable terrain, their strong attack also makes them the most offense-capable of defensive units.  However, they suffer stat penalties attacking cities and attacking or defending in "tight" places such as forests and [[NPC]] buildings.

Although they are excellent at defending cities, they also fare poorly defending forest, which is where all Elven accounts are started.  The overall performance is still enhanced, but to a lesser degree.  All [[Ranged Units|ranged units]] excel at defending mountainous terrain as well as cities.

== Economics ==
Because ranged units are the [[Elves]]' specialty, {{PAGENAME}} save one [[Leather Armour|leather armour]] in favor of one [[beer]].  Though this certainly eases their production from the bottleneck constraint of leather product, [[Elves]] are still overall disadvantaged economically by much heavier reliance on [[chainmail]] for all other units.  [[Elves]] who can supplement their [[chainmail]] supply can maintain an effective, balanced army.  [[Elves]] who cannot will still be able to keep their [[barracks]] queue busy thanks to these cheap elite [[Ranged Units|bowmen]].
