Well a longbow and a composite bow are different but I agre on a new name

Pd: sorry for the spanish

We can add samurai archer too

Pls don't go off topic, samurai archer is in may the sun rise topic, this topic is for longbow man upgrade.

Ok ... composite bow is cool name.

Aren't the composite bow complete opposite of longbow? The current longbow men is best for range. The composite bow (used by Mongols, before Huns) has lower range but higher power.
I'm mistaking the things or right acctualy?

Yes you are right, the only composite bows who can outrange longbows are modern ones

Alright than please find info how we can name this unit properly.

Well the original name is ok, elite longbowman, royal longbowman, those names r ok

Made image+json for unit and upgrade tech.
Original json has correction (revoke).
Gonna test if it works.

Tested, corrected image and upgrade json - works.

thanks! but image will need a little 3dishing.
also are we sure we want to change the longbow to some other type of bow? wouldnt it be weird to players?

Well, recurved bow of similar length would be much stronger (but most importantly I felt it looked better). It's original weapon.

putting in - thanks!

Endru remark:
- in new age we dont need to write enything in unit jsons about ancestors and revoker and grantor techs, instead we use he buildlist json to define the tree/branch, check this line in buildlist.json i will make the same:
{line : ["UNIT_SHIP_BATTLESHIP", "TECH_UPGRADE_UNIT_SHIP_BATTLESHIP_E", "UNIT_SHIP_BATTLESHIP_E"]},

ok, here are the jsons for this - thanks!

I think royal longbowman have 1 armor and 1 pierce armor.
