Ranger's Truly Hybrid Skyhawks

24/01/27 Nerfed the Bonus vs Large to 3

23/06/03 Updated for 3.1 with a little adjustment and bug fixes as well

Mistwalkers are maybe my favourite units in the whole game. However I've always found the Skyhawks a bit... outshined by other units in the High Elven roaster. They didn't even have a niche role to fill.
Based on the brief lore of Skyhawks I've decided to rework them and in effect it buffed them significantly to fill some roles the Shadow Walkers and Warriors couldn't do

Their range goes up to 140, a middle ground between their default 100 and shadow warriors' 180. And it's now AP and anti-large, given in lore that they are monster hunters in the Annuii mountains.

Their spacing is changed to loose formation. It never made sense to me that how can a unit "stalk" when in tight packed formation. They are mountain rangers not frontline infantry.

Their melee remained anti-infantry with their dual daggers. I lowered their melee attack down a bit and buffed their melee defense. I also increased their AP melee damage by a bit so they are no longer "weak against armor", but still far from "armor piercing". Would consider changing them to Blade Singer like AP melee units though but maybe that'll be too OP.

Now Skyhawks are truly a hybrid unit who can go against large & armored targets with their long bow while also go against infantry in melee with their dual daggers. Upkeep as a result is increased significantly.

Tell me if you like these numbers or are they a tad OP.

Enjoy :)
