📋 About This Mod
I've temporarily stopped updating this mod, it is not compatible with the current game version. I have been waiting for additional features to be added in the game's development process before coming back to both the game and this mod. When last I played Manor Lords, however, I felt archers were in a decent spot even without the mod, so I had stopped working on it. If anyone wants to create a new updated version of this mod in the meantime, they are welcome to do so.

Better Archers buffs archer units by increasing their base range to make them more viable than vanilla. This is a temporary, outdated mod by JetTiger, explicitly incompatible with the current game version, but still has 155 endorsements and 10,569 downloads from players on older versions. It's a simple balance tweak, not a full overhaul.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-validated with 155 endorsements from players who wanted this fix.
- Solid download count (10,569) shows real demand for stronger archers.
- Does what it says: makes archers worth taking by buffing range.
⚠️ Cons
- Outdated — explicitly not compatible with the current game version.
- No active development; author has temporarily stopped updating.
- As described, only covers base range increase — no other balance tweaks mentioned.
For players still on the pre-2024 game version this mod was built for, who found vanilla archers weak and want a quick range buff. Skip if you're on the current patch — the author says it's incompatible. This is for people who want a small, no-frills balance fix, not a full archer overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Only install on an older game version that matches the mod's last update (May 2024).
- If you're on the current version, don't install — the author says it will break.
- Check the mod's posts or comments for which game version it was last confirmed working on before rolling back.
