Mongolian horseman were accurate quick firing calvaryman armed with a short bow, they had amazing accuracy and speed while attacking, so they should have the power of a slinger (since shortbows are weak) and fire twice. Same stats as horse archer except have 100% percent conversion resistance because they are national units

So basically, it would have stats like a speedy, mounted slinger

I actually really like this idea, probably because the mongols were millions of horses of sheer bad@$$

I like it too +1

+2

A basic concept.
What you think about it?
I'll work on shades and details after some feedback

Hah, I think you just about nailed the mongolian style.

I already like

i added some shading

Why is everything diagonal? It kinda makes him look like a robot...

now?

i think they did not use crossbows, am i wrong?

that is a short bow

oh.
i am sorry, than my suggestion : his arm is too straight, i thought that that is a body of a crossbow.

How's now?

idea: what if the bow is in the right side of the horse? (so we can see how he ignites the bow)

i might try

and also not pointing the arrow upwards but horizontal or only a little higher.

here
if you like it i'll add shades too

Much better.

Looks very realistic, I like

yes better, however the bow is too far from the human (unnaturally)
and he also needs some more details/shading

but looks good overall!

Are you sure about the bow? The man on the horse is pretty "extended" like pointing before itself. I think the lenght is ok, but if you want i can edit it

It is great but arm is too long. It is like monkeys arm.

Added shades and shortened the arm

Arm looks weird

What is the difference between horse archer and mongolian horseman?

Stats
Cost 4
Hp 22
Attack 5
Range 4
Armor 0
Pierce armor 0
Speed 6
Sight 6
Action 2
Spell resistance 100%

Nice lookin unit spell resistance and speed is awesome )

Nice stats but cost should be 5 or 6

I dont think people will use it if it cost 5 or 6 becuase it is not that powerful (it is like a mounted slinger). Cost 4 is good.

But compared to slinger it makes more damage and compared to horse archer it faster and it is unconvertable. And it would make horse archer useless.
