Crown Marksman

The crossbow is a fearsome weapon, and one looked down upon by many nobles and knights. It is relatively easy to learn and any peasant may be taught to bear one with competence. Within a week, a crossbowman may be taught what would take a swordsman or bowmaster years of hard training, the ability to fell an armoured knight. And so it was all the more surprising that the Weydians chose to adopt such instruments. Yet its record on the battlefield is remarkable and a most fitting vindication for the Weydian Crown.

The more experienced of those who take up the crossbow know that one of its greatest advantages is the time it allows to take aim. While the crossbow may never match the rate of fire of a bow, it can compensate by ensuring that each bolt fired strikes true and sound.

Special Notes: This unit’s marksmanship gives it a high chance of hitting targeted enemies, but only on the attack.
