Firstly, to play with R archers, you need to understand some principles:
You need to ensure that R archers have both wood and meat (in practice), like consuming 40 meat and 70 wood. Once you grasp this, organize your villagers reasonably. Pay attention to wood-gathering forests and consider upgrading woodcutting in the BM house. To unlock 4 BA houses, you need 2 BS and over 25 villagers, for 5 BA houses, you need 3 BS and over 27 villagers ....
Note:
- Approximately 6-7 villagers for woodcutting for regular units
- Build BS in pine forests (old forests) if available.
- Upgrade woodcutting immediately after reaching age 2.
Popular R archery match-ups:
- Solo R archery: Assyrian, Shang
- 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 straightforward
- Cavalry mix: Shang
Types of archers with R bow in AOE Empire
1. Hittite
Hittite is one of the strongest units in the Empire, especially Hittite R Bowwomen who are default +1 damage right from the start, creating a significant advantage as early as the third age. Particularly, the combination of C cavalry with Hittle's stone thrower (age 4) is a nightmare for any opponent.
- Advantages:
* Hittle's R Bowwomen start with +1 damage from the beginning, with sturdy heads
* Reaching age 4 grants fire and interception abilities, woodcutting
* Stone thrower carts have double health
* God's hut
- Disadvantages:
* No siege engines
* Age 2 lacks dancing
2. Egyptian
When it comes to Egyptian R archers, gamers immediately think of units with higher health than others. Egyptians are one of the elite units in the AOE empire, with a very special strength in clashes with other R archers as well as R cavalry. In age 4, the power of camel riders is truly terrifying and is a fear for opponents.
- Advantages:
* Egyptian R archers have +33% health compared to other R archers before aging up
* +2 range at age 3 and +3 at age 4, with interception and fire abilities
* Have double stomping
- Disadvantages:

As one of the age 3 units with R archers shooting 40% faster than other R archer types. With such an advantage, just gathering one army is enough to win.
- Advantages:
* Assyrian villagers move 25% faster than villagers of other factions
* R archers with Horse shoot 40% faster
* Age 4 grants interception abilities
- Disadvantages:
* No heads, no fire
4. Phoenecian
Rapid woodcutting is the advantage of Phoenecian, not a standout unit like Assyrian or Egyptian or Hittle, but that doesn't mean we underestimate this type of unit. With the advantage of rapid woodcutting, Phoenecian develops very strongly, in the long run, this is a very powerful unit. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the number of villagers cutting wood most reasonably.
- Advantages:
* Has R archers and camels
* Has woodcutting 2 and 3, with heads
* Age 4 grants fire and interception abilities
* Woodcutting villagers yield 3 units per collection
* Age 4 elephants are 25% cheaper compared to other factions
- Disadvantages:
* All units are weak
5. Shang:
Solo R archery is one of the straightforward matches in AOE Empire. Shang is a rebel faction with very cheap villagers at 35 meat compared to 50 meat for other factions. Holding Shang helps players not lag behind in villagers, age up super early, and stabilize. In terms of development advantage, Shang has many advantages and also diversity in units. Most people tend to build BS to gather wood first for a stronger force.
- Advantages:
* Has heads and woodcutting 3
* Villagers are cheap, easy to age up, have heads
- Disadvantages:
* No interception and fire
* Weak units, slow villagers
6. Palmyran
Although they have R archers, Palmyran is rarely chosen by gamers for R archer battles. Palmyran villagers eat fruit at a very high speed, processing elephant meat quickly. Therefore, in the AOE empire, Palmyra's melee is always approved for selection, while R archers are used for auxiliary purposes with small teams.
- Advantages:
* R archers are weak, have heads, fire, and interception
* Villagers work fast, especially fruit gathering +25%
* Camel running speed +25%
* Villagers +1 armor and have wheels
* Pumping items doesn't incur taxes
- Disadvantages:
* No woodcutting 3
* Expensive villagers
* Cavalry and siege weapons are weak
7. Sumerian
Sumerian villagers have a fairly high amount of health (40 health compared to 25 health of villagers from other factions) so herding elephants or encountering lions is never boring, even the opponent's scout horses. When aging up, upgrade wheels and birth R archers.
- Advantages:
* Has heads, interception, and fire
* Sumerian villagers have buffalo-like health compared to other villagers (+60% health)
* Has double farming productivity
- Disadvantages:
* No woodcutting 3
* No elephants and ballista

* Has cavalry
* Towers have double health compared to other units
