These excellent archers come originally from Syria which has been famous for its archers for centuries. Discipline and excellent training are their main strenght in battle as they wear down the enemy at a long distance with their reflexive bows. Such skills cannot go unnoticed and make them a desired addition to any army. Although equipped with scale armour and helmets, they cannot be expected to fight well in melee. These soldiers are best suited for ranged combat and thus will require some protection of other troops.
