You need to edit the macro's in the gamedata.ini, but you cant so you need to edit the unit and horde files
for the range they start attacking just find the weapon they use and change this line:

AttackRange		 = ELVEN_MIRKWOOD_ARCHER_RANGE

in the unit inis change these lines:

VisionRange = ELVEN_MIRKWOOD_ARCHER_VISION_RANGE

Those values up there are defined in gamedata.ini, but you can not change those
So you need to look for their original values and edit them

still not getit if i cant change the range's values in gamedata.ini so how i supoused increase their range

and about the attack i want them to fire the arrows as soon as they see the enimes without moving
for example if u put the miekwood archers on high ground they will move towords the enmies unit first then fire
so iwant them just fire the arrows without moving at all

You see what is the value in the gamedata.ini then you edit the (higher)value in the <unitname>.ini

You have 2 ways of adding a value. The first is commonly used by EA, and is by the use of Macro's. You insert a name, and define the value of the name somewhere. In gamedata.ini you'll find this line:

#define	ELVEN_MIRKWOOD_ARCHER_RANGE				450

This means that the line ELVEN_MIRKWOOD_ARCHER_RANGE says to use the value 450.
So if you use this line:

AttackRange		 = ELVEN_MIRKWOOD_ARCHER_RANGE

then the value for the attack range will be 450. You can also use a number instead of the Macro:

AttackRange		 = 600

Now their attack range is 600, instead of 450.

If you just want to increase the radius within which YOU are able to see enemy units and structures, you will have to increase the range of the so called SHROUDCLEARANCE too.

Don't bother with gamedata.ini beyond to see what the previous values are, since if you're using a -mod command changing these macros accomplishes nothing. Just go to mirkwoodarcher.ini and hardcode the vision/shroud clearing values there. You'll need to change the Range value in weapon.ini for both Silverthorn and Normal bows.

Vision range controls only how far the computer looks for enemies to attack. Shroud clearing controls what the player can see around a unit.
