Stronger than normal Horse Archers, Mounted Rangers are considered one rank higher — both socially and tactically. For although they are as despicably weak as normal Dark Age Horse Archers, Mounted Rangers deal more damage per shot, and are also faster and slightly stronger, making them a better unit to use. This does not preclude them from being immune from melee attacks, but it definitely helps especially if the foe has a large number of missile units and is intent on using them.
