Line inf range increase

[Ragerancher]

when I was defending a fort, I decided to check what an improvement my vet 4 line inf was in comparison to my vet 1 infantry. I was shocked to see that the range of all my units had been increased. Line inf was about 115 and light inf was even more. After the battle I had another battle in a field, the range had reverted to normal. In the next fort defence the range had gone back up. Did anyone know about this and is it intentional?

Hmm that seems odd since experience doesn't increase range. Are you sure it's not because your units are on walls, they get a height bonus?

Never seen this one myself.

I think your men are getting a range boost from standing on top of the wall, that way their bullets travel farther.

Higher Ground = More range but sometimes less accuracy because the angle the rounds come in on the enemy. Put them on a cliff side aiming down on an enemy force you will see them firing at slightly farther range than your enemy.

When you think about it, having a range increase from a height advantage doesn't really make sense. The range is what it is not because the musketballs won't reach past 70, but because they'd be horribly innaccurate at longer ranges. This doens't change when you have a height advantage.

Yeh but it is nice to have a range advantage while on walls.
