The Use Of Fire Arrows

[The Spartan (Returns)]

i just want to state the importance of fire arrows:
if a unit's morale is steady it will drop after 3 or more volleys of fire arrows. if it is now shaken another volley will make it waver. fire arrows of course scare elephants.

[Avicenna]

Also, they can burn buildings down if you're not careful.

Are they also more deadly? or is morale and burning buildings the only difference?

[ZombieFriedNuts]

Aren’t they less accurate though?

[Drock]

Yeah, fire projectiles in general are less accurate than regular, with arrows the difference is like 1 or 2 casualties per volley. With artillery, you'll miss alot more (but when you hit with a flaming onager :skull: ).

[Garvanko]

Fire arrows are deadly in bridge battles.

[Severous]

Against seige equipment ?

[ZombieFriedNuts]

Thought so it also explains a lot

[The Spartan (Returns)]

they do burn siege equioment not just siege towere and bettering rams but also onagers, balistas and etc.

In addition to being less accurate they waste more ammo. When I was only a SP player it was fire arrows all around, but in MP I believe winning the archer duel is so key that accuracy and as much ammo as possible is imperative. So unless on armoured troops or eles I dont use FAs.
