    I've noticed that one more than one occasion I've been behind a stone wall and only 1 troop in the unit will actually be firing. Other than the 1 the unit just sits there ducked behind the stone wall not firing. I haven't quite figured exactly why it behaves that way as of now.

    Yeah, flank or get into melee asap if flanking is not an option.

    Have you researched advanced shooting drills?

    If not, then even if they are standing up, only the front rank will fire.

    Yeah I have fire by rank researched, but on stone walls not even my front row has been shooting. I've had to pull my troops out from behind the stone wall on more than one occasion because they simply were not firing. I'll look at it some more today to see if maybe I'm going up against troops with greater range. Maybe I have been on the downhill slope and the computer troops firing down at me have a greater range and I just can't reach them.

    I'm very early into things but when I did some fighting in RTI I had big units inside native-constructed buildings and it seemed as though they did nothing at all in spite of there being apparent windows to shoot out of. I thought I was setting up an impressive strongpoint whereas I was apparently just taking one of my units out of action.

    I think I've noticed that behind cover units fire more quickly when not using guard mode, but I have been playing on VH which makes the computer troops look dominant as far as accuracy and reload speed so it is hard to tell. However, I can attest that my units die less quickly behind cover!

    Yeah, the cover stuff is pretty damn cool.
    Would be nice if they shot faster (having the guys behind doing reloading) or if you could drag them out thinner.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    Does the cover feature only work when you are defending? And does the season make a difference? I seem to remember being attacked in Winter and not being able to dig any defences.
