The Cretan Bowman was widely requested this week, and we are absolutely thrilled with what [the development team] have done with him.
It’s really amazing to see him looking so sharp on the field, because he almost didn’t make the team. And while he stands before you today victorious, it is not without consequence. Giving the Romans both a standard archer and the Spearman (Roman) game's 7th Spearman and killing off [the Veles] may not have been the most exciting decision we could have made, but for the viability of the entire tech tree, it was the most responsible one.
