Talk:Longbowman (Age of Empires III)/@comment-5814271-20160621123318

British Longbowmen in AOE3 are rather underpowered, as Japanese Yumi Archers have more range damage than them. When in real life medieval longbows are much more powerful than yumi bows due to higher draw weights and heavier arrow shafts. Longbows with bodkin arrows could be counted to pierce European plate amor, but Yumis never.

Another thing, its really silly that Aztec Arrow Knights outrange Longbowmen, when those "Arrow" Knights didn't even wield bows, but atlalti spears. And even if they had bows, they would never match the English longbow in power and range.
