Description[]
The Companion Archer is a Chinese unit in Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. It is a foot archer team consisting of an archer and a shield-bearer. They are good in countering other archers. As a special action, the shield-bearer can deploy a shield to protect the archer from ranged attacks and increase its range, but the archer then cannot move.
Some young Chinese men, not unlike knightly squires, were called upon to serve a man of higher rank. It became their sworn duty to protect their lords, even bearing a shield for them into battle.[1]
