Archers not using their advantage So something that i loved for StoneHearth was to get Archers on Walls and Towers which kind of became possible after the defense flag became better with them leaving to eat and sleep but the problem is they always leaves the walls to go down on grass close combat i…

What about making a “item” that is called Archer Position, which is a flat item that requires an archer to be assigned to it. In that way the archer will stay there and man the location possibly using existing mechanics. You could then make an archer tower, position on a wall or like, that the arc…

I think it would be cool if TR made it so that an archer can shoot farther when they increase in height (or go up higher). Thus making their AI actually use towers we make for them.

Indeed and many times i feel like i have to make towers look bad for them to be able to perform good because the ai favor going down instead of finding the shooting spot

This would be great, I think what would be even better is that the engine actually simulated the trajectory of an arrow instead of being, this archer fires and arrow at this goblin - play the animation and the arrow always hits. This is the one pet peave of mine with stonehearth as they say it’s a …

Simulated projectiles works better in RTS games when there’s a boatload of them, because trying to micromanage one unit on a field of dozens - hundreds - even thousands - is a frustrating task for most players. If you entire army has simulated projectiles and sweeping factors (cliffs, cover, buildin…

It’s not obvious; but if you have a close look at both types of “bow” you’ll notice that there isn’t any string - they aren’t actually bows at all! What they are is missile launchers that are cleverly disguised as bows. Because they aren’t bows they don’t fire arrows, they fire (self-propelled, sho…

Archers (as well as clerics and melee) definitely need a better mechanic for patrol/defend zones. Rather than giving them a single flag (such as the current defense flag) that is predetermined in pathing/zoning; it would be better for the player to select a path/zone based on select/drag mechanic s…

Hey @wymsic , welcome to the Discourse!

lol. it is more than that. it is a conceptual weapon based on Casuality / Fate. It is already determined at the point of firing whether a projectile will hit or not, or how much damage is done, as if written into the stones of date. No amount of dynamic changes there after can alter it. The pro…
