Onagers "inaccurate against troops" my a**
I noticed that onagers have the value "inaccurate against troops."
That's funny, because every time one of my enemies fields onagers they usually kill more of my men than any other unit, almost always landing right in their midst. Anyone else noticed this?

Onagers are perfecty accurate against anything stationary, that is, until you switch on "fire ammo".

if they are using fire pots then any hit is pretty much just luck. stone ammo is generally very accurate

As you said:
Inaccurate my arse!!
On stone ammo, they are more accurate than a frigging ballista. I only use stone ammo if i want to destroy large portions of city, because large fireballs going all over the place have a tendecy to set plenty of buildings on fire.

How can you not play with flaming pots? Inaccurate Yes, but seeing all those little men burst into flames when you do hit!

i think it might depend on placement. last night i had a battle versus the gauls and they parked themselves on top of a hill, my onagers rarely seemed to miss one unit got 380 kills, innacurate flaming pots and all.

Onagers rule!!!!How can you not play with flaming pots? Inaccurate Yes, but seeing all those little men burst into flames when you do hit!
My ideal army fields with 4 onagers and 4 archers. Fire pots are a bit hit-and-miss but even so they mash up the enemy. They are also the most likely way to take out the enemy general right at the start of the battle, not to mention they are excellent and reducing enemy elephant units to ashes.
....... and yes, the sight of all those enemy infantry flying through the air is a sight to behold.....aaaahhhhhh.
