CA foot missile bug fix and more!

While increasing -stat_charge_dist as advertised here did give some benefits it also made AI charge with missle units a lot (this is esp true for horse archers, but foot ones too).

I am still having trouble seeing what improvement is made to the foot archers - they still often go merrily walking into my own archers, walking way past th epoint they should have fired, then spreading out and shooting off a few volleys before all 200 are killed by my 80

Darth's settings obviously must involve more than what is above. I think, to be fair, I have seen an improvement at times - but there is more to it than what is said above. Has anyone extracted this?

So this fixes the archer bug in 1.5 RTW where archers don't shoot at units with high armor? Or is this simply intended to enhance the AI so it uses archers more effectively? Or is this BI specific?

Can anyone answer my above questions, or have we got more testing to confirm this works?

I tried it with RTW:Alex and it doesn't work. My archers when facing high armor units end up charging from their long distance. It's pretty funny, but it doesn't force them to use their bows.

As for the rest, I can't see much difference so I can't comment.

Note that I'm not using Darth formations.

Yeah this fix... does nothing.

**Dol Guldur** · 01-22-2007, 00:42

Yep, no difference in BI or Alex. vanilla but Darth does state it is only tested in RTW I believe.

Now, will those who download the fourth age all kill me if I make all the archer units into missile prec units....
