Thanks for the replies all. That explains everything. Where can I change the max angle to 45 ? Is it possible to mod the battlements so they no longer obstruct the archers' line of fire ?

FH when you deployed them that deep, were they shooting up or straight. When I deployed them 2 ranks deep, as a test, I found they did even less damage. I was assuming if I deployed them deeper still the damage would reduce porportionately.

It would be better if 2-3 groups of elite missile troops could do more damage in this defensive situation. They are protected by the battlements, supported by the towers, have nowhere to run to, they are elite marksmen.

BTW Sherwoods do better in siege.

Does anyone know how the unit's projectile accuracy is determined.

Thanks for the help.

Salute !
