Horse archers are an expensive but versatile unit, which moves with very fast speed. It has low reaction time and can also fire arrows while on the move. Its fire rate is greatly increased however, when stationary. The horse archer cannot dismount, unlike the knight.
In melee combat, the horse archer defends itself with a basic weapon that deals very low damage. It cannot attack buildings.
Horse archers require a free peasant from the campfire with a sum of 80 gold and 2 honor to recruit.
Trivia[]
- The horse archer's fighting animation bugs out when engaging in melee combat: it turns to its target, but does not play any fighting sequence.
- When the unit is killed by area damage, it keeps shooting arrows instead of dying, before it is removed from the game after a few seconds.
