Was "Master Archer" removed from the Faction Creator in a recent patch?

January 27, 2011 2:38 PM from

I wanted to make a faction that focused on ranged combat. While everything I've found here on the forums and on the Wiki indicates that there's a trait you can choose for a custom faction called "Master Archer", it's not actually available in my game. I couldn't find any mention of it in the change logs for the patches though.

So was Master Archer removed in a newer patch or is my game just bugging out on this one thing for some reason?

It was removed... I think in 1.1, maybe prior to that.

For another option, check out Heavenfall's Expanded Factions mod. The Elf faction actually starts with a type of bow available; using that as an example it's easy enough to mod that in for your own faction.

Yes 1.1 killed archers.

The way the technology tree has changed for archers is crackers! Mainly because it is far easier to research the most powerful 'Yitheral' (however you spell it?) bow way sooner than basic bows themselves!!

Apart from the all powerful yitheral bow in the magic tech tree, actual military bows are nothing more than a curiosity for the end of the game when you don't have anything better to research/build.
