Time commanders new series success or faliure?

[Lord of the Isles]

The bit I liked in this week's show was one of the two "questions to the experts" that they are allowed every week. "Can the archers and crossbowmen fire over the heads of friendly troops or must they have a direct line of sight" asked one of the contestants. He was told they could both fire either way and I thought: the RTW engine I know is going to kill a lot of your own troops if you try to fire over them. But I can't remember if that happened in the battle: anyone else notice?

#On a related subject I found it hilarious when the team charged that unit of cavalry and celebrated killing Harold before later seeing William hacked to death at his own personal hands.

Well they didn't show any "blue on blue", but it looked like thier archers were miles away from the rest of their troops anyway!

Since 1.2 you can place your missile troops behind the rest of your army and they work quite well (slingers aren't as good, but then they tend to shoot slowly and generally be rubbish anyway!). In fact it makes the game that bit easier as you can sting a unit with arrows and it will then charge straight into your waiting infantry. Particularly useful when playing as a Greek faction.
