Unit Information Game Strategies History
In the Extended Edition, this unit/building is affected by a damage bug.

Kushite Archers are the Nubian unique Foot Archer of the Classical Age that replaces the standard Archers.

Overview[]

Compared to Archers, Kushite Archers are statistically identical, but they do +42% damage against Foot Archers[note 1] 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.

Notes[]

  1. Kushite Archers actually have a 35% damage bonus against Foot Archers, but they also have a 6% (25% before version 03.02.12.0800) damage bonus against Foot Archers and Ranged Cavalry. This effectively means that Kushite Archers have a 42% (68% before version 03.02.12.0800) damage bonus against Foot Archers.
