It's does feel bit weird. I'm pretty new to the game, but so far I've done quite well with archer based armies, Classical Indian, Egypt, Longbows, etc. (although I stopped playing them until they fix the support shooting bug) But the damage from shooting seems to be secondary to the ability to buy t...

It looks like this bug also extends to mixed HF/MF archers and mixed HF/LF archers, I'm not seeing any support shots in the combat log and they used to show up.

It looks like they're already aware of the problem for regular MF archers, but I'll mention that it seems to apply to mixed HF/MF archers and mixed HF/LF archers as well, just in case.

Are you sure they arnt getting the 2 support dice when charged? I do know there is a glitch in the verbiose display where those xtra dice rolls are not shown but Slitherine has said (somehwere buried) that it is just that , you cant see the dice but they are factored in) To make things more confusi...

Thanks for the response.

The PC is:

Intel P4 1.7 ghz
Geforce 3 - 64mb
768 MB RDRAM
Windows XP

Vintage.

Sometimes the minimum spec is more of a guess from the developer, and sometimes the minimum spec is a pretty strict requirement. Has anyone tried this on a computer with a 64 mb video card? It doesn't look like it would be excessively demanding graphically, and the PC in question has a bit more ram ...

Thanks! That helps a lot. By the way, it appears that (at least under some circumstances), the mixed unit LF support shooters will lose their impact support shots against mounted if they are in contact with enemy foot at the time they are charged by mounted. In the Hattin scenario, if you set up an ...

Previously most of the bowmen in mixed units were MF, but in S&S some supporting LF bows showed up. The details of these are not particularly well documented. Questions: a) Do the light foot take the place of the second rank of the unit? Or are they added on as a overstrength third rank (while o...

It would be nice if there was a possibility to pause the game so you can scroll up in the replay and read what the enemy's POAs and rolls were against you.

Version 1.40, Swords and Scimitars Issue: Ilkhanid ally for Cicilian Armenian (later) is bugged a) All Ilkhanid Cavalry for the ally dismount as armored units, even if they were completely unarmored while mounted. Even the light horse will dismount as armored light foot. In the normal Ilkhanid list,...

Patch: 1.40 Condotta - Venice (Outside Italy) v.s. Later Seleucid (post 166 B.C.) I noticed my mounted crossbow is getting a -1 POA for shooting at a heavily armored cataphract. The exact POA is "-1 Bo/Ja/Sl attacking Ca or HA Kn." Now unless I'm misreading the POA table, crossbows should ...

I can't guarantee this is an error, but it seems odd They get Hermandad spearman - drilled Protected Defensive Spear - Average - Heavy Foot - 7 - 0-4 Hermandad spearman - drilled Protected Defensive Spear - Average - Heavy Foot - 7 - 0-4 Hermandad spearman - drilled Armoured Defensive Spear - Poor -...

(researching this game to see if I want to buy) Is it true that polearms in this game are classed as "heavy weapons" and don't get any particular advantage against mounted units? So in this game against cavalry you'd be better off with a simple spear than one of the polearms below? I suppo...
