Overview

Compared to Archers, Kushite Archers are statistically identical, but they do +42% damage against Foot Archers and +6% damage against Ranged Cavalry (including Mahouts), which makes them an exceptional asset both in offense and defense, and the bane of any archer-using nation.

Trivia

• A Kushite is a native of the Kingdom of Kush, in ancient Nubia, incidentally famed for its archers.
• Kushite Archers and their unique upgrades have unique idle animations, drawing their bow more methodically and frequently, and kneeling down as if to pray.
