Archer (Civ5)

== Game Info ==
First ranged unit in the game.
* Common abilities:
** 
== Strategy ==
The Archer is the earliest ranged unit, armed with the first simple bows. Because it can attack enemies with impunity up to 2 hexes away, it is critically important in the first skirmishes with Barbarians, or when attacking enemy cities early in the game.
However, the Archer is fairly weak when attacked by other units, especially in melee. Assign it to garrison cities or keep it behind your front lines, protected by melee units. Also, position it on hills whenever possible - these vantage points will allow it to use its full range while also using the natural defense of the terrain.
