Kobold by V Shane
The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy!
What the lizardling empire lacks in creativity it makes up for in training. Its archers can do terrible damage with their short bows. This is important, as they’re trained to maneuver around the rear of the battlefield and do damage from afar. A single good hit can take out an archer, but it can do considerable damage before that.
Archers always remain organized into a unit under a Commander (statted out separately), who strides into combat and calls orders back to its unit.
