one thing i've never understood, was why would the ranged units not be able to take buildings... or destroy building.

Hey izno take a bow and fire it at a wall and see how much damage it does.

But what about if they're right next to it?

Ghengis... are u telling that the Romans used Ballistas and Catapults to throw "stuff" at the other guys??? Damn... what was i thinking of...

I said Ranged units doing damage at buildings... now has Sage said, archeers could do damage if next to it... as in dismantling the building...

Or perhaps a shocking idea... they could do a limited ammount of damage at a certain range (imagine that they're using fire arrows or something).

it's like in taking a building... it's a bit ludicrous that an archer, even though it has a limited melee power, can't "take" a building... ofcourse that it's not an squire, pikemen or knight... but it has a some melee capacity in it right?

In ye olde days of WOL, when cerby was still new, only hte basic and advanced troops were usable, and advanced wasn't very helpful. anyway, in those days, there were no siege, and buildings were built God-mode style (anywhere, any time).
The moderator was time, you couldn't just slam buildings up.

Anyhow, long story short - MASSIVE archer groups were in. Folks can show you screenshots of these formations of 50-groups of archers. If THEY could damge any of your buildings....THAT would be bad

Good Ol' New-Test and Tourney, It was always fun stealing boes farms and see his troops slowlt die Mwahahaha
