We all know how powerful mounted archers are. Being mobile and also ranged, they can fire with impunity then run away. Now, all factions can get these. But really, when did Gondorian soldiers ever shoot while on horseback? Or Dwarves throw axes while on a pig? I feel some factions should get horse archers, while others should not.

Should Get Mounted Ranged (some are planned): Rangers of the North (once they get horses), Rohirrim, Wainriders, Balchoth, High Elves (Fingon's "Mounted Archers"), Vale Of Anduin, Dale, Avari, Khand, Gundabad (For northerly Evil players)

Shouldn't Get Mounted Ranged That Have them Now: Gondor, Durin's Folk, Ered Luin, Hillmen of Rhudaur, all Orc Factions besides Gundabad (Orcs are stated as riding their Wargs and slashing at horses), Near Harad, Wood-Elves, Galadhrim

Related to this is how arrows are so underpowered. Elite units can take near a score of arrows before falling. In real life, they were far more deadly. If you play or have watched any of the Total War games, you know what I mean. I propose that arrows are twice as deadly '''to NPCs only. '''This would be more realistic and make archers worth the extra money.

Thank you for reading my suggestion. As always, comments, kudos, and constructive critiscism are welcome.
