If we're going with a realism argument, random arrows make more sense. However, if we were going like that, a good arrow hit would one shot the attackers. Even if they weren't dead I'm pretty sure none of us would get up from an arrow in the thigh. -
I'd like to applaud @real_tabasco_sauce for the moderation of this opinion, and endorse it as my own view. Ultimately the non-random systems seems like it will have better implications for gameplay. However its balance implications are so convoluted and far reaching that trying to implement it all at once into a larger incremental-rebalance mod is just going to scramble all the other balance goals. However, this idea of having an adjustable number or proportion of arrows, per actor, be non-random sounds very promising to me. I think it should be discussed further. I imagine the implementation would be tunable on a per-unit-class basis through unit templates. That might be your solution to the balance problems. You could walk the proportion up for each building, just until it starts to cause problems, and then wait until a compensatory adjustment can be found before going further, without ever breaking the overall balance (if it were done very cleverly). This would eventually let you transition entirely to non-random if you wanted, or find a happy middle where the gameplay objectives of non-random are achieved, but some random aiming is still present with its own beneficial effects on balance and presentation. -
first, units select palpable targets from the preferred class enemy units within range, then minimum distance is used for the final choice. -
It is not just a matter of realisme but effectiveness as well . As a player who play every week for a while now with a mosty havely agressive oriented playstyle i noticed that the arrows focus targeting of defensive buildings is not that effective against all kinds of rush , on papers they should be better against rush because of number of arrows and 1 unit target only but in reality it is worse for obvious reasons like arrows are in stream per 4 seconds which can be dodged easier than before with cavalry and that the max number of arrows is actually like 40% less . Beacsue of that a decent army of melée can actually sit under cc for minutes , same thing for towers and forts . i understand the reason for it to be a stream not all at a time arrows + the less max number of arrows is to avoid arrows miss all at once and avoid over kill so for that i think the best way would be to keep it random targeting as it used to before with possibilty of manually targeting 1 units when player wishes with also augmenting the number of maximum arrows and lowering to stream time to a number to be figured and tested . -
I'm not sure but IIRC units have preferences with regards to their target e.g. the Elephant class.
