This is how a Crossbowman looks in HoMMV.
Crossbowmen are the other upgrade to Archers, the other being Marksmen. Crossbowmen are only available with the Tribes of the East expansion. They are useful for their ability to shoot at no penalty no matter how far away the target is, making them an excellent anti-ranged ranged unit(Yes, that statement makes sense). While they are more offensive-oriented than their Marksman pals, they're still only useful at higher levels in high quantities. Sorry, guys!
Game Description
With the new government has come some new technologies, and improved equipment has given the Griffin Empire their Crossbowmen. Their sophisticated crossbows have a firing range that is twice that of other bows.
