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.
