Will archers be renamed?

Hello Denkt!

Thanks for your feedback on Archers. I'll add that to my report and we will see how it goes with the devs. Personally I do think ranged infantry and ranged specialists are good picks - as you rightly underscored, skirmishers can also comprise cavalry (and maybe other units too).

I would like to add missile infantry to the list.

Wait, missiles? .... Okay then.

Perfectly normal English. For example:

"It is likely that the Libyans got quite close to the Romans before hurling their missiles, as the Romans were probably not returning fire, terrified by this sudden, unexpected attack from a new direction."

"Not even the elephants who stood in the way deterred the Romans, for they had become accustomed as result of the wars in Africa to avoid the charge of the beasts and to either discharge missiles at them from the flank or if they could approach closer to cut their tendons with their swords."

Indeed it is, I just have a hard time imagining the reaction of players staring a tooltip stating "Missile infantry"

You definitely underestimate the "average Pdox player".

Fair point my good sir, fair point!
