Artillery Shooting From Hills

Post by KiwiWarlord »

Are artillery shooting down hill less effective than artillery on level ground ?
Playing Edgehill and it came to mind.

A related question. Is artillery firing from an elevated position at an advantage for LOS purposes?

Yes.
Artillery on higher ground can shoot over any friendly or enemy units that are not in the square immediately in front of them. Artillery can shoot over light foot or commanded shot on the flat provided that they are more than 2 squares from the artillery. Medium and Heavy Artillery can shoot over enemy artillery.
