The top Elite upgrade is a game changer, they get VERY accurate and with "attack area" can reach over the 115 range. Another feature is the Shield Breaker dealing dmg to shield walls. Overall it's a very versatile unit and on some maps the range advantage is devastating.

While their dps may be lower than prefecture and fire archers, they can maintain a high damage output for waaay longer before they run out of ammo, so in general unless you have an easily available and convenient resupply point nearby, they will do far more damage than most other archers over that extended period of time of not having to relocate to a supply point to get more arrows.

My favourite trick with longbowmen is camping them on the supply point in allenburg and having them spam arrows straight down the ramp of the siege tower. Anyone anywhere on the tower gets a stomach full of arrows - my record is well over 150 kills, just with one move order, one attack order, and just forget about them for the whole rest of the battle and fight with just the hero! Another advantage of longbowmen, unlike all the other archers units whos 'attack area' and 'arrow rain' abilities just blindly loose a hail of shafts at the target area, the longbowmen have 'overwatch' which actually aims arrows at the skulls of troops in and around the area as well as saturating the area with arrows. There is also their cheesy 'covering fire' skill, which is a bit like the spear sergeants cover commander, but with arrows. As long as the archers are in range (not much of a problem with longbowmen) they fire at you, so when you are in melee your opponents also recieve a healthy dose of arrows.

I cant wait to inlock them :D

Once again good video learning something, nice and calm. Need youre advice though, im about to upgrade on pikemen. Prefecture Pikemen or Halberdiers? Maybe a new video? :)

u can move your units after u die or press V to order attack

I got a Conqueror's blade ad with you in it before the video!

Longbows look so fun.

If you're having repositioning on time you might consider an attack move (hold v). Also for your poleaxe gameplay you should probably switch billhook and push back. You instantly use billhook after knocking them down completely negating the knockback effect it has, but pushback knocks the enemy out of bec de corbain range. So using billhook allows you to follow up with bec de corbain and save your push back for when you actually need to push them back.

I wish there was a way to move your units via the map. imagine you could have sent them to your supply point to get new ammo. Or maybe a "resupply" button that lets you choose a supply point to which you want to send them to

How do you feel about these now adays? I have them just want the best archers out there to get maxed out

Hey man! Love your vids. Just a heads up, your mic was a bit garbly in this video/ seemed to be picking up some weird background noise around 2:37. Just wanted to let you know!

The vassel longbowmen r life savers

Loz are you on the U.S server or probably the European? ..i joined the U.S. to join friends but it'd be good to play with you if poss, Orinj ingame. ps @ least change your vassal longbow to melee when out of ammo..

Nice video about Vassal Longbows. If you finds the Bronze cost too high, may I suggest you go to Hunting Lodges and make a visit to the Weapon smuggler. He charges 850 Silver per Kit

if you use 2 on them it is auto 1 in 15m radius around u bro it gives a lot of adventage

Notification Squad! Hey Evo watching the video now. Could you please consider making a new vid on the Imperial Javeliners please? Have a good week mate!

I think they are great when you are a Long bow yourself. Otherwise they feel weak.

Do you think imperial arquebussiers are worth the cost?

Make a video on unit exp change and battle lines, one of the biggest things mycom needs to change or there gonna keep losing players

How many units can you get with the 100k honor limit per character?

What ingame settings you play the game??

Haven't played or watched anything CB for a while and it seems a bit has changed, mainly with the UI.

what do i need to do to join your awesome house? i would hail you all day

it loooks like they are made for more open maps so you can use there range

This game dying very fast. Devs keep sleeping.
