High hit rate archers in all battles, never entered the melee preferring to act as archers. High hits per man, decent defence: between 26 and 37 hits per casualty.

Seems just like a regular infantry unit when fighting in an open field (Battle in Aestus, Battles in Leibo). Strong in defense (cca 40hits per casualty)

Honour and Recruitment

Researcher: Erazem Luegg
As can be found on Honour and Recruitment page the general formula seems to follows:
Number of men = Factor * Honour + Offset

Unit type	Factor	Offset
Infantry	1.5	22
Archers	1.5	22
Cavalry	0.5	7
Special Forces*	0.5	7

^* Suspected, will be tested in the future.

My unit (max 23 men, 32 honour) has the same limitation as the formula for Cavalry (23 = 0.5*32+7), so it is reasonable to conclude the formula is the same. This will be easily verified with a different honour. We should also check if Cavaliers get additional allowance as per cavalry.

Confirmed: 26 men = 0.5 * 38 honour + 7
