Sherwood Archers are Fake

[misterbull]

They are fake. Not only are Sherwood archers fake, but Robin Hood was fake-- a mere legend for those weary of Norman conquest of the Commons. The only archers ever recruited were from the people (normal hunters, not tight-wearing archers that somehow live in woods), professional longbowmen (like modern military), and mercenaries.

Why are they in Stainless Steel?

Shouldn't you hide this in a (spoiler)? haha

Why are they in Stainless Steel?

Everyone knows they aren't historical. They are in Stainless Steel because they are a vanilla unit and have yet to be removed. Several submods have removed them though.

"They are in Stainless Steel because they are a vanilla unit and have yet to be removed."

What does that have to do with anything?

No point removing a unit unless you have something to replace it with. As I said, several submods that revise rosters have already removed them.

Oh I see what you mean. I didn't understand what you were trying to say from that vague post about vanilla due to its irrelevance. Lesser =/ Worse and vice versa.

I already understand that other submods and mods removed them. It's just a minor annoyance. I just won't use them that's all.

Yes, and I'll keep the spirit of Chivalric Knights so that when you have them recruited in your army, they will ransom peasants instead of slaughtering them like they did in history.

The burden of proof is on your end. Besides, I don't want to get into a religious debate about fox gods.

Aye, that was the jest of't.

[Lord Minotaur]

I would like sherwood archers a little better in game if they werent so . They have short range and a low unit number. Regular longbow men are better by far.

You can always modify that pretty easily.

200 Sherwood Archers?

Imagine paying for that many elastic green tights... I don't know if I would ever be the same.

Haha nah, I meant that you can add damage/range to them if you want them to actually be useful, however you could always modify the number of men-in-tights per unit also.

[Andytheplatypus]

Thats true but you could also modify any of the units in the game to suit your specific needs.

I prefer to play the game as it was made by the modders.

Since, like the topics says, sherwood archers werent actually real units historically, if I was going to mod an archer unit it would be longbow men, not the ones in the green tights.
