this is all much ado about nothing.
Longbows are only special because you start with Range, letting you get to Logistics and Indirect fire faster (by 1 level 4 promotion, specifically).
In vanilla, they sucked for upgrades, so no one did it. Now they upgrade properly, but won't keep the 3 range, it'll just be 2 range. Oh noes... it's not like anyone else can't take that promotion... or build horse units or tanks...
... or fighters/bombers.
