Bowmen on Walls

[Dark_horse_spirit]

I had a little complaint, nothing serious. I recently seiged a city and lost alot of Hoplites to archers on the walls. My problem is this, THe archers were on the walls and the hoplites were on the wall.Right beside the Archers. The hoplites were attacking the archers, who were loading and refiring and killing lots of hoplites. Is this sopposd to be like this. I can say I don't care for this feature, it seems very unrealistic.

It's an old bug from RTW - the best way to counteract this would be to assign your men to run through the archers - instead of ordering attack. The hoplites won't die from melee and if you have enough units in the middle of the archers, they will stop firing and change to knives. When that happens, just order your men to fight and they'll slaughter the archers.

By default the archers should have 11 attack, 60% lethality and 16 arrows. Not sure on the stats in the latest release, they have changed quite a bit.

Thx, I will try this when I get home.
