Archery
Basic Archery: increases the damage done by range attacking creatures by 10%.
Advanced Archery: increases the damage done by range attacking creatures by 25%.
Expert Archery: increases the damage done by range attacking creatures by 50%.

Archery increases the base damage of ranged attacks of both ranged creatures and war machines (the ballista and cannon Horn of the Abyss); this does not mean that the total damage (final damage) is necessarily increased by the same percentage, as it might also be increased by other factors, such as high Attack skill - see damage formula.

Bug: The archery skill reduces damage done by arrow towers (fixed in Horn of the Abyss Horn of the Abyss).
