a question on swarm mechanic


Should archer units be able to help a fellow unit attack ?

 

And is it possible to have a swarm archer bonus at range? say an archer attack and the swarm archer shoots off an extra shot to help out ?

It makes sense for melee units because the enemy unit gets "distracted" by all the other adjacent troops, it's not really working for ranged troops. They have another inherent bonus in that they can attack from a large distance, I don't think they need swarm.

what i'm saying is, if the archer is standing next to the attacked unit it participates in the attack and gives the swarm bonus, is that intended ?
