Mercenaries constitute a special group of units which has important place in the structure of forces of Men. They are ordinary units with standard weapons and armour, but they do come with extensive combat experience and therefore with superior fighting skills.

Despite being a veteran, mercenary archer is lightly armoured like all shooters. Having gone through numerous battles, he perfected his combat skills. In result he shoots more often, has higher chance to inflict a critical hit and better accuracy. In addition to fighting experience he has gained a lot of valuable ranger skills that allow him to hide on any type of terrain, make arrows, disarm traps, cross shallow rivers, scout enemy armies and some more.

The path of an archer is the path of a ranger. Wondering alone in the wild and facing deadly dangers, with age archers learn the secrets of nature and start to feel a little bit more than ordinary men. Veteran archers such as mercenaries can feel a hidden danger nearby and can even search for sources of hostile energy.
