Overall strategy[edit | edit source]

Unlike the other Archers of other factions, Elamite Archers are fast-moving, and fast training, providing the Elamite player with the ability to produce a vast array of Archers at the double. This is especially important, given how Chariots are commonplace, and Archers are often at the mercy of assault troops, such as Swordsmen.

Notes[edit | edit source]

"elam_archer.bh3" is our main model, and it uses both Elamite and Hattiic textures.

The cheapest of the cheap of elite units, Egyptian Neith archers and Shukuthlu are based off this unit.

  • Neith archer - cheaper cost and faster train time, doesn't use Wealth.
  • Shukuthlu - possibly a Heavy Axe unit with the range of an archer.
