Archers are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

Employed for hunting as far back as 2500 BC, the bow maintained its relevance on Anatolian battlefields thanks to the invention of composite construction techniques. By gluing together wood, horn, tendons and sinew, craftsmen of the Late Bronze Age created a sturdier, more compact weapon that could be fired with much greater accuracy. These proved especially valuable to Trojan soldiers, who won many engagements against would-be invaders by raining death on them from atop the city's walls.
