I thought this was correct but Im not sure becuase the range doesnt look as good if I remember rightly. Any help is much appreciated.

We have also modded our projectile velocity, so perhaps that's why the range seems smaller - arrows in your game would fly slower than FATW.

And sorry for hijacking the thread.

Its alright... but if I do overwrite this will it make these archers stronger?

Very! (And also quite expensive) The stats are balanced to FATW's gameplay and lore, so not sure how well they'll fit in RTR... You'll make some really powerful archers.

For future reference on unit stats see HERE, you will probably find it useful.
