Caledonii (Empire Divided) Battle Tier 2
Longbow Training
Be it an ambush, a siege or an open field battle, the longbow is unmatched.In battle, Germanic barbarians used a variety of missile weapons. Javelins and throwing axes provided sufficient piercing power but lacked range. To overcome that, they used longbows, usually made of yew and fir wood. Sapwood was used for the outside of the bow while a different wood, tempered by heat, formed the inside. By this method, the sapwood resisted stretching, while the tempered wood resisted compression. Such bows were sturdier than their single-wood counterparts and shot arrows with much greater force.
