Levy Bowmen are a Feudal era archer ranged infantry unit.

In-Game Description

The "shire levy" is a system of conscription used to raise armies quickly. All freemen are obliged to possess and bear arms in the service of the king. The poorest are expected to own a polearm and a knife, those with little land to their name are obliged to own a bow and be proficient in its use. Levy Bowmen are superior to Archer Militiamen, if somewhat more expensive to maintain.

Acquisition

Levy Bowmen are acquired from the Ranged Infantry unit tree, where they cost 500 honour. This cost can be partially or fully defrayed using up to 20x Levy Bowman's Signaculum.
