Or we could go the other way around and have all the archers summon an Arrow unit instead of doing a ranged attack(I joke)
Shouldn't be too hard to mod in, the only trick would be making the ability to do a ranged attack be granted by a spell and instantly triggered (then revoked), and it would make it impossible for a mage to launch a fireball to weaken a defender, then attack himself to clean up for XP.

One of the tags Xienwolf added was "PrereqTerrain" - can easily be setup to grant any promotion effect you like to the Malakim if in the desert and automatically remove it if they move out.
Did I mention that Xien did a top notch job with these prereqs?

The question simply becomes "what should the promotion do specifically?"
