The most insane bonus that just came to my mind - Imperial Age is not available but upgrades and techs are available at 10% more cost.
Bracer is a big no because FC into Xbow+Bodkin is already a valid strategy. Adding Bracer at 330f, 220g will be OP in some cases. I think Arbalester is expensive enough to give you some time. And Chemistry is really slow. Other than that, the only OP tech I can see is actually conscription. 165f, 165g is so cheap. If you have good eco setup, you can just spam your army after building your first Castle.

Archers can be created in barracks and stables:
To make a twist to this - maybe instead of archers being created in barracks and stables additionally, make it so villagers can wield bows in combat. It feels more true to the history lore you are explaining.

You could do interesting things with “villagers can be converted into archers”.
Examples:
- villagers can be converted into archers from feudal age onwards, but you always get archers, even if you have researched xbow/arbalest. The archers do upgrade if you research xbow.
- In feudal you could sacrifice your eco to get a military advantage
- In Imp you’d have food-cost-only archery units, but they’re not as good
- If you don’t play archers for most of the game and build up 120 villagers to support a knight army, you could tech-switch into an instant 120 arb army
- Or: villagers can be converted into archery-line units after a castle-age UT
- Or: villagers can be converted into archery-line units after an Imp UT
- Or: villagers can be converted into xbows/arbalests after reaching Imp
All of these play out differently.

Would the idea be that in mode 1, they shoot multiple arrows in different directions at the same time and in mode 2, they shoot a piercing arrow (like scorpions)?

-a successful convertion has a 5% chance of convert another adjacent unit (1 tile around the converted unit)
Correct.
Also mode 1, accuracy is low. But mode 2, accuracy is 100% but no ballistic benefit.
