Do we have to wait until the next release comes out to see a fix for this?

Or,

Is this the way shooting will work from this point on?

Other unanswered question:

Will the routing/evading through long lines of troops be altered in any way or again, is this how it will be?

Well, what i have been doing is simply not shooting thru light foot, I know its a bug and shouldnt be possible so i just dont do it... Since I dont watch replays I dont know if my opponent does do but I am not too concerned if they do...

I do hope crazy evades are corrected , however i like the routing effect! Can really help one out of a jam!

Or put you into one!!!

I am torn about the ability to fire through units...it seems to me that archers not under fire could fire long range over javelin light infantry hugging formed units...I think a better rule would be to discount archery fire for any range over 2 hexes or over friendly or enemy units to reflect the less accurate overhead fire vs. direct fire.

Interesting idea...I guess right now there is no penalty for firing at long range?

you sure are a hypercorrect player, but if the enemy archers (and slingers! ) have howitzers and radars, this puts you to a disadvantage, and i don't like to have extra disadvantages in multiplayer games, as i am myself rather dumb.
so i think it should be corrected asap

He he, well, I suppose i could be a hypocrite as well, as I believe the ability to attack enemy cavalry in the rear without them evading is also a bug, but I DO coninue to do this as sometimes there is no choice... I mean i cant stop myself when one of the buggers breaks off or evades and is now behind my battle line in a perfect position to hit my beleaugered troops in the rear, sometimes there is only that option!

There will not be any patches before Storm of Arrows releases, so you'll have to live with this a little longer I'm afraid.
