Unless you're up against a horde of Mammoths or Elephants, I'd go with the Thunder Bow. A Boots of Quickness, double Fire Bola heroic strength hero could be good against a large number of Elephants, assuming he's not the only thing standing between you and the horde. In any case, don't wear Jade Armor because the weight takes away AP and most of the time you'll end up only getting one shot off.

I was under the impression from other discussions that the AP needed to make an attack was based off of your actual AP. So if your base is 12, armor and whatnot take you down to 6, and then quickness gets you back to 12 again - you really should still attack twice a round if you don't move. Heavy Infantry with 5-6 AP in combat tend to attack every round if they don't move, for example.
