Bowman: These sub-types are good siege and gathering Troops due to the extra damage they deal to Cavalry, other range troops, and Siege. They also have high dps and attack twice per round.
Crossbowman: These sub-types gain an attack bonus during defense. It is not suggested to use these on offense. Again.. They have an extremely high dps while on defense. When reinforcing, the best reinforcement composition is 40% Swordsman and 60% Crossbowman.
