Hunter

Hunters are a light infantry and utilize compound bows to attack, allowing them to use an indirect attack type to fire over enemy units. They are also useful in killing animals, as their name implies.

Overview
Hunters are a new unit made available after the 1.1 Update. It appears as though they are meant to supplement armies before Sharp Shooters become available later on. They also score critical hits shot frequently against Critter units, including boars, mammoths and raptors. This makes them useful for many missions in the campaign.

Though a bit more expensive than the Trooper (in time and resources), Hunters still fare better than the Trooper at Rank 1, especially with their Precise Fire, but are still limited by their lengthy reload time of eight rounds. The double shot ability, available at level 3, does double damage but comes with several drawbacks. The ammo consumption is doubled, the cooldown is increased to 2, the line of fire is changed from precise to direct, and it lacks the critical hit bonuses of aimed shot.
