Talk:Elephant Archer (Age of Empires II)/@comment-30831233-20170407123850/@comment-27726014-20180619062617

I think the HP is fine but they need more attack. The short range does make sense as despite what you would think that was also historically so. The range of an archer is not based on how far the arrow can theoretically but from what distance he has at least a chance of hitting a human sized target. The swaying of an elephant reduces accuracy.

A normal archer can shoot an arrow over a kilometer away if he wants to but he's never going to hit anything.
