i was just wondering, in RTW, are the flaming arrows shot by archers better than plain arrows? I think flaming arrows are less accurate but are better against calvary, what do you suggest?

It depends on the situation however fire arrows deal more damage but less accurate and scare the enemy and take longer to reload. If your in a situation where there's more enemy the normal arrows are better but if you want to hit the enemy hard use fire arrows.

And I doubt that flaming arrows would affect heavy calvary like the Parthian cataphracts. Too bad that the Parthians can't actully do Parthian shots.

Emperor Heraclius wrote the following letter to Khalid Al-Walid...
I have come to know what you have done to my army. You have killed my son-in-law and captured my daughter. You have won and got away safely. I now ask you for my daughter. Either return her to me on payment of ransom or give her to me as a gift, for honour is a strong element in your character'.
To which Khalid replied....
Take her as a gift, there shall be no ransom.
I pretty much used the flaming arrows as standard, with any massed group of enemy troops it will rack the kills up in no time, i would only usually switch to plain arrows or hold fire when my infantry and cavalry engaged the enemys line....
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
I knew what Parthian shots meant, but didn't know what bibin meant by saying Parthians couldn't do Parthian shots. I'd never noticed that they couldn't shoot backwards in RTW.Originally Posted by Fadly
