seems like AI missile units don't fire much when being attacked (ie, when they're standing in defense of a position). this is a 1.5/1.6 bug, isn't it?
defending AI missile units - 1.5 bug?

Yes its a 1.5 bug and it only happens when the defense of the unit is higher than the attack rating of the missile unit. This means archers will not fire on super heavy infantry, whether this can be seen as a bug or smarter AI is up to the person. I cannot do anything about it unless you want archers as powerful as the javelinmen which would be stupid. lol Javelinmen are not affected by this bug/feature. It also explains why Archers target other archers more and other light infantry units, so it may be some kind of tweak CA did that has some counter effects. Its also present in the vanilla RTW 1.5 but you dont notice as much as most of the time the archers are super powerful.

Yes, almost too smart.Most people arent used to this smart AI so they think its a bug instead lol.Originally Posted by Spartacus_GR

Europa Barbarorum, what RTW should have been.
how is it smart for a defending AI army to just let their slingers sit there as my forces march up towards them?
where talking about missle units attacking units which they can harm the most :laughing:
I think (Hope not mistaken) that Darth solved that on His mod.
well, their slingers could've taken a large dent out of my velites before the latter got in range.

yeah but they dont change targets when they still can fire
huh? could you explain what you mean?
if lets say archers are attacking principes,they dont switch to hastatii when they are in range

No darth did not find a fix for it. The only way is to make Archers so powerful that they resemble the Vanilla stats and even then thats not enough but this happens in the vanilla game. I suggest you go to the EZforum which is the official forums for RTW and BI and complain to CA there. Complaining here does nothing. I cannot help bugs or glitches found in 1.5 patch, there are bugs in EVERY patch CA released. Please read the readme and the download section text and you will see that I state some will mistake for SPQR bugs CA glitches or SPQR features. This gets old.

its very easy to make archers powerfull
yes, but i only my velites and my own slingers were up front marching towards them. the AI therefore won't get in range of my hastati for a while. yet they still do nothing about my incoming frontline missile troops.
EDIT: sorry, LT posted while i was replying.
for those that want to continue discussion of this here at TWC, maybe go to the original thread where darthvader discovered it: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...5&page=1&pp=20
