Elite Composite Bowman
Upgraded Armenian unique archer with improved stats. Even more effective against cavalry.
Tactical Briefing
Commander, the Elite Composite Bowman gains 5 extra HP and maintains the anti-cavalry role. At 45 HP, they're slightly more durable but still need protection. The upgrade is worth it in Imperial Age against cavalry-heavy opponents. Continue massing and micro-managing them for maximum effectiveness.

Strategic Analysis
Elite anti-cavalry archer
- Improved Durability: 45 HP means they survive one extra hit from most units. This can be the difference between a successful retreat.
- Same Role: Continue using them as cavalry counters. The elite upgrade is incremental, not transformative.
- Mass Priority: The 900F/500G upgrade cost means you should only upgrade when you already have a large group.
Warning: Still fragile to siege and skirmishers. The extra HP helps but doesn't change their fundamental weaknesses.
