Description:

There are accounts of archers having 2-3 arrows in the air before the first arrow hit the ground. I’ve always thought archers were way too slow in Total War games yet I know it’s likely for balance reasons.

This mod removes the ‘aiming’ time between shots for elite archers, and shortens it considerably for regular and levy archers. They tend to use up most their ammo before the enemies close in now, so you may want to keep some in reserve to preseve firepower for mid-battle.

Right now I think it has made them overpowered but let me know how you think I could best balance it.

I was thinking of speeding up animations slightly so they fire a little faster, increase ammo by about 50% but also reduce accuracy to around 50%. I think it would be a good trade-off but it would requier a lot of testing.
