What is an 'archer'?

[the Vanishag]

Followup question: what counts as "cavalry?" Do units have to be mounted to count, or is it on the basis of move (e.g., high move = cavalry), a charge attack or ???

[Sombre]

It appears to me it goes after units with the mounted tag. It didn't seem to want to target centaurs, for instance.

While we're at the issue, I swear to all local Gods that the single troll archer that shows up with Bogus' band has a "shoot commanders" order.

[Frozen Lama]

it does. hellbind heart him and see. its a commonly known exploit

[Calahan]

I believe it's only considered an exploit to copy his orders to other commanders. But grabbing that archer and using his pre-set 'Fire Commnaders' orders just on that one unit is considered ok. At least that's how I've always viewed it. Although never captured him myself in a MP game to even attempt to use him.

[Frozen Lama]

give him an eye of aiming and visions foe or bow of botulf can make that one usit pretty nasty. but i've never seen anyone do it much less do it myself

[Calahan]

Yep, quite a few nice options available if you can get him
