Evaluating archers.

I like the lizard warriors from the swamp.

Archers who have a lot of health (compared to others) but deal little damage! :)
And greater damage is more important, in my opinion, even if, for example, it's a one-on-one fight with some warrior, because you'll kill them faster, and they won't have time to deal much damage, so health won't help them. And in general, archers are more of a support unit, they attack their friends, and they help with shooting, so life isn't as important as damage! And if they get caught in melee combat, they'll be cut down sooner or later!

So, crossbowmen are much better than lizard warriors!

(Let's just say that if you come across neutral creatures and there are, for example, 100 lizard warriors and 100 crossbowmen, I'm sure your first target will be the crossbowmen because they are more dangerous!)
