Elite Plumed Archer
The upgraded Mayan unique unit. More HP, range and pierce armor make it an even more effective mobile archer.
Tactical Briefing
You gain +15 HP for 65 total, +1 range for 5, and +1 pierce armor for 2 total. The extra range matches Arbalesters, and 2 pierce armor makes you very tanky vs archers. The upgrade costs 700F/1000G - expensive in gold but worth it for the survivability. Still 1.2 speed, still the fastest foot archer.

Strategic Analysis
The Elite Plumed Archer becomes a **premier mobile archer** with range and armor matching dedicated archer units.
- Archer Range: 5 range matches Arbalesters. No longer outranged in archer fights.
- Tanky Archer: 2 pierce armor means Arbalesters only deal 4 damage. Very hard to kill with archers.
- More HP: 65 HP is significant. Survives much longer under fire.
Warning: **Still lower attack**. 5 base attack means you need more time to kill enemies. Quantity matters.
