Longbow Levies are common in Welsh and English armies, and while they share the same penchant of Skirmisher Levies being extremely weak in melee, they have but one advantage: added accuracy and splash damage. If hosted in large groups, Longbow Levies could wreak havoc on enemy ranks, especially if they can provide enfilade fire on a foe's ranks. Plus, if left alone for a while they are capable of installing stakes to fortify themselves of their own accord, without the need for an Officer or Patriot to get them to do so.

| - Longbow Levies are common in Welsh and English armies, and while they share the same penchant of Skirmisher Levies being extremely weak in melee, they have but one advantage: added accuracy and splash damage. If hosted in large groups, Longbow Levies could wreak havoc on enemy ranks, especially if they can provide enfilade fire on a foe's ranks. Plus, if left alone for a while they are capable of installing stakes to fortify themselves of their own accord, without the need for an Officer or Patriot to get them to do so. During Norman attempts to conquer Welsh territory, the guerilla tactics of the Welsh were aided by their use of the longbow. Using hit-and-run tactics and the lay of the land, consisting mostly of dense woodland and mountains, the Welsh exacted a price so high in Norman blood that the Normans themselves were impressed. Of course, the Welsh were too divided and diminished to resist, and were overrun, but once Cumbria fell, the Norman aristocracy then set out to recruit Welsh bowmen into their armies.
