-This is a guide about early-midgame Dai Bakemono Archer armies, how they work, the unique nature of the units, and how to protect them. by CyborgSellout+This is a guide about early-midgame Dai Bakemono Archer armies, hopefully a useful explanation of how this particular archer/infantry combination works in an army designed around them, some of the risks, and some idea of useful research to chase. by CyborgSellout

-{{:nations:ma:shinuyama:Dai_Bakemono_2.png?25&nolink }} Dai Bakemono are a fairly unique troop type. Troops with heavy armor, bow/crossbow, and a 2-handed weapon, are pretty rare, and most nations do not have access to them. They allow you to leverage early-game aoe buffs much more than normal. This army focuses on Legions of Steel and Strength of Giants (Constr3, Ench 3). Enemies who use heavy infantry are forced to run across the field through longbow fire and get bad contact on a well-buffed army of heavily armored extremely heavy-hitters. +{{:nations:ma:shinuyama:Dai_Bakemono_2.png?25&nolink }} Dai Bakemono are a fairly unique troop type.

 Other things to note are that they have longer range than other archers, they have bigger arrows, and strength of giants helps their ranged attacks, as well.  Other things to note are that they have longer range than other archers, they have bigger arrows, and strength of giants helps their ranged attacks, as well.
