Bandit Bowman

The Bow-wielding Bandits in all their notorious glory.

Bandit Bowmen
One of many types of Bandits that the player may encounter. This particular bandit wields a bow and can attack from a considerable distance, generally prefering high ground to gain a sightful advantage on their enemies.

Bandits of almost all kinds can be found in small camps, overtaken keeps or fortresses, or on some paths as ambushes. Any encounter of bandits generally will include 2 or more (FAR more...) in a group of various types.

Not to be confused with Rogues.

Fighting a Bandit Bowman
While the Bowman only has one method of attack, the Bow and Arrow, they do have the Skeleton AI; meaning the closer you get, the faster they fire. They often spawn, or can be found, in high places, giving them a combat advantage.

The best way to kill a Bandit Bowman is by challenging their skills with a Bow yourself. Or charging in head on.

Loot Drop
Upon death, the Bowman has a chance to drop:
 * 2 Gold Nuggets at 5% per unit.
