Javelin users are set to over 100 meters because of the world record

Bows and other ranged weapons are only "several meters"

If this was true, Pegasus Knights wouldn't have to fear archers as they outrange them, yet mages, archers, even thrown weapons can attack back against a javelin

We should either have their range set equal to the javelin, or set the javelin users to several meters
 
Character A attacks from two tiles away with a Javelin

Character B is using a bow, hand axe, dagger (several meters)

Character B attacks Character A in retaliation

"Game mechanics"

Certain game mechanics have been shown to be canon, like Lyn's tutorial telling you how forests increase evasion, the weapon triangle, bows dealing more damage to fliers, hammers and other anti-armor weapons dealing more damage to armored units, Vulneraries healing, these things have been stated by characters to actually exist outside of game mechanics, so these weapons having an equal range to javelins isn't far-fetched at all, as they can easily attack from the same range and counter attack as javelins
