Evaluating archers.

Absurd!

How did you even test that? Maybe you can tell us? I personally created the scenario: sand, two heroes (mages, i.e., A. and Z. with zero skills), deliberately let the cyclops pass by so that the elves would shoot first, all without any extra morale or luck, and in the end, the elves are defeated. Check again, you are wrong.

P.S. of course, when I say "great" elves, I also mean that the cyclops are upgraded as well.
