Archery

[Daveybaby]

Assuming that the firing arcs displayed when a unit is selected are accurate, it seems pretty obvious that there is no bonus. You certainly dont see any distortion of the arc if, say, the edge of the arc lies partly on a hill and partly on flat ground.

Do you know the penalties for attacking troops in woods or if Archers get a penalty to hit when fire from woodlands? Do archers actually hit trees with their own arrows when they're firing from a forest?

[Dead Guy]

It seems like archers in forests take a lot less casualties when fired upon, imho. But I'm not sure. I haven't tested it.

Mangonels however, I am absolutely sure hit trees. Their projectiles are completely harmless if they hit a tree.
