Weaponbonus applied?

[Kraxis]

I would think that the foundry gives a bonus on the melee-stat(s) and not on the missile stat? Or does it work on both?! (Not that a higher attack melee-stat for archers would help in this bugged pre-1.2-era...)

Well, a Foundry DOES add a bonus to missiles, it might not be added at that time (armoury perhaps) as I have never really bothered with that late a game (seems to stop right when everything goes up high). I just wanted to make sure that the best possible bonus was added.

If the game doesn't show any difference in stats (the archers in Athens don't have experience right?) then I can't see that they are different. Oh, how I hope this has been noticed before at CA. It would be a shame if so many temples would not work correctly.

I had posted about this issue earlier since I suspected from the start (of RTW), the bonuses were capped at +3 as was the case in MTW. My experience so far: they really are capped...

In my experience they are capped. I guess the logic behind it being that by building shrines to Artemisyou don't have to build blacksmith buildings to improve missile stats. I don't say I like it, just that this is probably the logic behind it. Besides, you can't get golden upgrades by blacksmith buildings alone anyway.

I love playing the Macedonians and I too have been striken by the fact that the bonuses from Artemis don't tack up with the ones from the foundry. Maybe the idea is that if you build the temple you should not build the foundry. And I too think they are caped.
