Algerian Archer (mercenary)

Algerian Archer (mercenary) is a ranged infantry unit in Cossacks 3, available at the Diplomatic Center. They used to be the only mercenary archer, until the addition of the Turk Archer (mercenary) in the mercenary crew.

Background
These fighters were armed with bows and arrows. Their bows possessed a high rate of fire - up to 12 shots per minute - but a low range of fire and limited killing power. A soldier's stamina also influenced his range and rate of fire. These savage warriors terrified enemies through their brutality and rapidity. However, like in all irregular armies, their lack of discipline made them very unreliable in a battle.
