Honestly I don't seem much of a problem here 'on paper', will see if it becomes one when actually playing. You might take an AoO when you do that or if you think about that, you can flank the enemy with your own melee first, and then step away with the archer. They are this games 'irregurals' and have a melee and a ranged attack.Īlso you can just take a step back before you shoot. Originally posted by darkholyPL:That's what skirmishers are for. So it shouldn't be a reasonĬome to think of it, weren't low tier shooters in AoW 2 like that as well? But they were weak anyway, and higher tier ranged had a melee attack. The AI should be hardcoded to behave certain way, or choose different approach based on situation, like, if it can kill the attacker in 1 hit it shouldn't disengage and use melee instead. The game isn't really centered on cybersport/multiplayer, and hardcore tryhard fans like you are, as usual, a minority. So now we should have less options because someone used to exploit some OP tactics? I always used a combination of various raged and melee because, as you've stated, it's more fun. Now AI has no choice but to unblock the unit or move before attacking. Weak melee attacks on ranged units would be mostly a trap for AI.

Have melee units, ranged, support, skirmishers and shield. You can't use 6 overpowered ranged units and expect easy wins no matter what you fight.Ĭombined arms approach is more fun IMHO.
