British Longbow Men
British Longbow Men
Are the useful? I only have been building pike and muskets with my huss. Someone said on the steam message board I need to be using these and that they are powerful. Is that true?

Longbows are underpowered. #BTB (buff the british).

Yes they are good, one of the best compositions in fortress age is lb + goon + huss.

They are excellent when you defend becuase they can just stay still and start firing long before enemy units get close enough to attack themselves. In general they are good when they can just stand there and fire becuase their fire rate is twice as fast as other ranged units but they need quite some time to actually fire the first shot so they are bad when you need to move a lot while fighting.

Re: British Longbow Men
Longbows do great versus everything but musketeer units.
With yeomen they trade at insane levels (for LI) vs artillery. They are the best LI against cavalry. They win the skirm war so easily, even age 2 lbow can beat age 3 skirms cost effectively. They decimate dragoon units.
But versus musketeers man....
LI relies on kiting to kill musketeers and longbows cant kite.

Re: British Longbow Men
Lbs are great vs cav when they sit in a turtled base. On an open field, they kinda suck vs cav cause they can't hit and run

Re: British Longbow Men
Depends on what patch you are talking about.
They are literally trash on RE, but decent on Vane Patch with x36 attack vs infantry and +500% HP

Re: British Longbow Men
you can't really camp that much with Brith, even on EP maps at some point you're forced to come out of your base ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re: British Longbow Men
Longbows are good as long as they are standing still and shooting. They have low hp however which is why you need to protect them. A big mass of longbows is almost unbeatable when there is enough anti cav.
