===Overall strategy===
African Bowmen are mercenary archers that while weaker than conventional Archers, are trained more quickly and are capable of running faster than normal archers. These units are thus ideal for supporting cross-border, short range warfare, or for providing support for your horsemen against anti-cavalry units, these usually being heavy melee infantry. Their only drawbacks are their high cost in Wealth, and their lack of armour. As a result, it may sometimes be better to recruit instead Kushite Archers as the Makurians for the less Wealth-intensive cost and their superior offensive parameters.
