ArcherGoPew-Archers Use Light Attacks

TL;DR Archers will now also use light attacks, not just heavy attacks, functionally increasing their effective attack speed and maneuverability. T3 and T4 archers will now also have access to double and triple shot combos.

For those who've played Conan Exiles for as long as I have (doubtful), you'll likely remember back in ye olden dayes that NPC archers used both light and heavy attacks instead of just heavy. That was patched out a while ago, and now I have brought it back, among other things.

The fancy extended combos only apply to T3 and T4 archers. T1 and T2 archers will only use single light and heavy attacks. Not only does this allow it to adhere to Funcom's design for NPCs by giving higher-tier thralls more advanced combos, but also allows the thralls to sorta-kinda present a realistic skill with bows. Low tiers are inexperienced and have to carefully aim their shots from stationary positions, while high tiers are experienced enough to know how to knock and loose arrows in one smooth motion, even while moving, letting them release arrows far faster than you'd expect.

FULL EDITS
Tier 1 and tier 2 arhcers now have light shots added to their combos, with a 50/50 chance of using either.
Tier 3 and tier 4 archers now have the following new combos while using bows:
-Light
-Offhand
-Offhand->Light
-Light->Light
-Light->Light->Light

FOR THOSE USING VANILLA, the bow's default offhand is simply another light attack. As such, the offhand combos will simply be light and light->light. Double shots for the win!

FOR THOSE USING GLORY OF COMBAT, there are two things to note. First off, the bow offhand is now a dodge, meaning the offhand combos translate to dodge and dodge->light. Secondly, they WILL still attempt to use said offhand ability even while attached to an archer post. This does not disconnect them from the archer post, thus meaning they will still be locked from walking. This can and will result in archers bouncing themselves backwards off your wall or into a dumb position they cannot fire from. HOWEVER, that problem only applies to tier 3 and tier 4 thralls, as they are the only ones set to use the offhand attack and therefore the dodge. I recommend using T3s and 4s as battlefield archers, followers, and rangers while T1 and T2 archers and any other thralls can be used to man archer posts. Since archer posts innately double the ranged damage multiplier of whatever thrall is attached to them, you can still push out respectable and even outright busted amounts of damage from low-tier archers, and many fighters have comically high ranged damage multipliers anyway (like the Cimmerian Berserker with his perfectly respectable 1.98 ranged damage multiplier, and he's hardly the highest of the fighter mafia). Split your forces based on their respective skills, using the nimble archers for frontline combat and the slower thralls for fortifications.

I will look into rectifying this, if I can figure out a way to force archer posts to block offhand attacks.

Special thanks to Dread Swoop for going to the trouble of editing Glory of Combat just to ensure compatibility with my mod. You're a gentleman and a scholar and there are darn few of you left.
