I don't support ranged troops. The only reason why I'm not trying to kill this suggestion is that I know I can easily fend them off if I have ranged weaponry. Crossbow and woven vest will one-shot an iron wielding guard, which will be the majority of them, and so I can pick off guards before I attack the village. If they all have woven vests and crossbows, I'm not going to stand a chance (and neither is anyone else).

Heck, even giving one a crossbow will mean any unarmoured player in a 100 stud vicinity will die.
