The idea is not clear enough. Do you want an archer with arrows,axe throw and spear all at a time . I am afraid if it is even acceptable.
And if i can interpret, although may seem useless

This can do exactly the same thing you said earlier, but as a heavy duty javelin thrower.

Re: Scandinavian armor piercing archer
Sorry it is a fact that axes spears and bows were the most common, and we needed more of these. I was thinking a archer that could peirce armer with a special arrow called the bodkin point.

Re: Scandinavian armor piercing archer
Crossbows were the ones used to pierce armor, bows will have a hard time piercing one.

They were shot with both bow and crossbow but the crossbow were not used in war fair until the 1400s and the Viking ear/age ended in the 1000s

Re: Scandinavian armor piercing archer
Stats look nice, i don't know what the heavy foot melee category is for though.
Archers category is already a big disadvantage, i don't think adding it is necessary.

Re: Scandinavian armor piercing archer
without archers category how will ordinary skirmisher kill it? now that i think about it, isnt it op against skirmisher? no matter how heavy the arrow, even if pierces through shield it is only rarely going all the way through, should unarmored and heavy armored infantry both really get same damage from arrows?

How about miss*speed or miss*armour for taking account of heavy and light foot melee. (I won't appreciate it though)

Re: Scandinavian armor piercing archer
instead of ignore armor, just give it same bonus as crossbow with higher damage and lower range for heavy arrow

I don't want any ranged unit with ingore armor spec, because they could be used against things, that are supposed to be virtually indestructible by ranged attacks (e.g. structures).
And on the whole - Nordic culture or their later descendants were never really known for any exceptional ranged weapons technology, nor speciality.
Raider is already great representation of one thing related to missile warfare that could be said about nordic warriors - many or most used bow, when needed.
As for introducing this as universal unit - is there really a point with existing anti-armor shooters, being better representation?

Re: Scandinavian armor piercing archer
what if there were bonus damage agents heavy and medium / Calvary and foot. that way they could not do lots of damage on structures. but still armor pierce 1

It was already proposed by GoK that it should be Crossbow Bonuses. Which is the exactly same as your suggestion.Spear_snake wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 1:44 pm what if there were bonus damage agents heavy and medium / Calvary and foot. that way they could not do lots of damage on structures.
