European Bowmen

From Warbirth Wiki

“The harsh forest life streamlined their tribes and made them strong and ruthless, like the animals they sought for their prey. Their discipline, their life, were impossible to understand.”

— Richard Herley, The Stone Arrow (Pt I, cap 4)

On par with archers, just trained faster for lots of Wealth. Highly vital for Germans to use.
