Description

The crossbow is a stand-alone unit available in Dark and Middle ages. It is the first 'sniper unit' available.

Strengths

With its long-range and high attack values, it can kill non-upgraded Infantry units with a single shot.

Weaknesses

As a downside, Crossbows are very expensive, slow, non-armored, and have a very low rate of fire, so they are easily picked off by counter units if not properly guarded.
