What makes the archer better than the fighter using a bow is two things.

  1. Aim.
    Archers should give head shots and cripples constantly
  2. Speed.
    Archers should use faster the bow and shoot more arrows than the fighters.

But…
Imagine the horror visiting a camp and each archer is shooting you ten arrows each, providing you cripples and head shots all the time.
You cannot just change thralls without changing the npcs.
The game already did this move. With the release of Siptah gave us Ulrich.
99,99% of the players used this archer as fighter and he is by far the best thrall you can get even now. The real reason we do not train archers as archers is because it’s expensive.
The most necessary thing we need to ask for archers is quiver.
We shouldn’t use all the inventory of archers for arrows. We should have a quiver that can be equipped ONLY from archers and place at least 500 arrows in it. This way archers will take a more serious role in this game. And archers don’t really need vitality, you can make a lvl X purge with lvl 0 Dinas and lost zero of them.
