“Yeomen: Foot archers have +1 range” It also concerns Skirmishers, which make them pretty good (though Aztecs ones and Incas with their unique tech are arguably a bit better): even without Thumb Ring, Skirmishers actually don’t get a faster rate of fire from Thumb Ring, only an accuracy boost from 90% from 100% which is overshadowed by Briton’s +1 range. Being archer units, Longbowmen won’t last long against as little as 5 knights. When on the battlefield, protect your Longbowman contingents with a combination of Infantry and Cavalry. Using them in base defence behind walls with locked gates is another useful tactic.

The best strategy for using Longbowmen is in a group of at least 15. They also have a higher attack than normal archers. Starting off at a base of 5, upgrades from the blacksmith, researching Elite Longbowman and Yeomen at the Castle will bring the Longbowman’s max range up to 12, thus out-ranging Castles, Towers, Mangonels, and Scorpions including rival Unique Archer units from other civilisations. The Longbowman boasts the greatest archer range in the entire game. Unique Unit: Longbowman (Long-range foot Archer) Unique Tech: Yeomen – (+1) Range for Foot Archers, (+2) Attack for towers Team Bonus: Archery Ranges work 20% faster
