4 tiles increase the area of effect of the armor-piercing attack almost twice as much compared to 3. However, this is not enough to balance the upgrades; for example, consider the armor-piercing ability against archers, where it is easy to avoid the armor-piercing attack, and at any other range, the archers are stronger (at medium range, they are stronger due to the +1 attack bonus).
In general, to balance the crossbowmen with the archers, only through the ability, according to my calculations, the radius of the armor-piercing attack needs to be... 8 tiles. With this setup, from 2 to 6 crossbowmen will deal approximately twice as much damage, from 7 to 8 exactly the same amount, and from 9 and above, more than twice as little. Naturally, no one would make such a large radius for the armor-piercing attack, so the difference is compensated by the reduced damage.
Regarding invisibility, I really don't like the TE's castration of the hunting hounds. Why remove the ability and add something new in the form of other abilities/stats when it can be fixed?
