It is said that every Scythian is a bowman, and these native Scythian Archers are proof of this. They are rough men, undisciplined, not well-trained as warriors, but excellent hunters and ambushers. Though they cannot fight well in close combat, they are good bowmen and, if used properly, will be a valuable addition to our hosts.
