Why do they cost 5000/Year? They are ridiculously expensive, Knights costs only 3000/Year and they are supposedly the élite...
Thoughts? Opinions?

If they fight against cavalrymen/knights/heavy knights, their strengh is 6 (bonus of x2), against 5 for the heavy knights. Another point is about PP, it costs only 1PP when you need 2 for heavy knights.

Why is their strength x2 only when they fight against soldiers on horse (and who are Heavy Knights?) wouldn't it be more logical that it was x2 for soldiers on foot? I know they count x2 in defense on a siege, but are they worth it as an attacking force?

Longbowmen are efficient against cavalry only ("Facteur combat multiplié par 2 contre la cavalerie"), not about siege.

Archers have a bonus for siege, not Longbowmen.
So Longbowmen are just efficient against cavalry. It could be a good choice to protect your siege weapons.
About the historical reasons of this bonus, I don't know. Sorry.

Ce bonus rend d'ailleurs les chevaliers useless : un combo piquiers + archers longs et c'en est fini d'eux, à un coût bien moindre. L'utilisation obligatoire des engins de siège ne fait qu'accentuer cet état de fait.

oui il y a eut qu'une seul fois ou la cavalerie a été a ce point défoncé par les archer long anglais, mais c'est plus dut a une succession de pb pour la cavalerie francaise que grace aux archer long...

At various moment in the English-French history of Love/Hatred, English longbowmen knocked down the French calvary: Battle of Sluys (bataille de l'Ecluse), Crécy, Poitiers, Azincourt... There are probably other examples but those are quite famous.
