Arabian bowman/Stronghold Crusader 2

The Arabian bowman is a cheap missile unit. Roughly identical to the archer, they serve as a good alternative to mass, as their cost is only slightly higher, while their counterpart requires a bow as well. In numbers, they can take on rangers, but suffer against the heavy armor of the crossbowman.
In melee combat, the bowman switches to a weak dagger that deals negligible damage, and even the lightest units can easily kill them if they manage to get close enough.
Like archers and rangers, Arabian bowmen can use the Volley ability to fire scattered shots at a specified area. This ability grants them much higher range than normal, capably hitting targets beyond their average reach (like those behind walls).
