Thales Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Does terrain have an effect on a units defense/attack capabilities? For example, if a unit is on a hill and it is attacked does it receive a defensive bonus while the attacker is penalized since it is harder to attack uphill? This question could also apply to structures, such as stone towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freagarach Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Currently (as long as I have to finish https://code.wildfiregames.com/D781) there is only a range bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakara Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hello, range effect is not enough? at the limit of camouflage strategies, etc. why not, but pure bonus damage is a bit disappointing, like age of empire 2. In addition, it only applies to projectile units. I think it can create some frustration on strange maps. it only my vision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this, choosing your ground is important and it makes the map more than just eye candy. So many real battles were decided by terrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archers etc usually just attack the nearest units, so their range advantage gets wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does fighting uphill have a negative effect? On Ngorongoro I noticed my ranged units often do not keep a safe distance when fighting beasts...

MakeKemetGreatAgain Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 There's no defensive bonus? I assumed there was because what army didn't want the hill top? I position in elevated inclines whenever possible and it SEEMS more effective. The attackers move more slowly toward you anyway, right? So your missile units spend more time hitting them with more attacks before they are close enough to engage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
