I don't really understand why some (or the majority) of these one shouldn't be affected by skills concerning Archers units. :/
It would be so nice if any developper could reply to your thread.

Meh, the only units that seem to actually count as archers are:

Elf Archer
Hunter
Skeleton Archer
Bowman (Human)

Literally the ones with bows, so despite all having the "Archer" ability, most of them don't count.

I'm considering adding zombies to my force (the tougher ones) to see if the "Pass" ability works as I think it does, i.e. will allow my Skeleton Archers another attack on that turn. A bit like having two units of skele archers
