Strategy[]

The Carn Dum bowmen are your elite archers from the Hall of the King's Men. Compared to axe throwers and sorcerers, they have excellent firing range, and even more impressive rate of fire. They rival the bows of Lothlorien, and even have an advantage over them in the massive damage output they have when standing still behind hordes of orcs and barbarians. Fully upgraded and within Mornamarth's sight, these rangers are ready to mow down infantry and use trolls as pincushions. Don't let cavalry get close though.
