why dont my catapults, shoot within its range?

Can you be a little more specific.

what he means is he is, his cats is n range of a players walls, towers and it won't attack it. it says it's out of range but it is n range. the player he is attacking is attacking thore and can hit thore but thore can't hit him. i seen thore game and thore cats r well n range of hitting this players towers and walls but it won't attack. it is a bug.

Still, can you be more specific though? Are the cats trying to shoot at max range (there seems to be a bug with that where sometimes they can and sometimes they can't). Is he clicking on the building and then selecting the cats to have it destroy the building? Or is he clicking on the cats and then clicking on an enemy unit that is out of the catapults attacking range? Or in other words, when and where is it telling him he is out of range?

no hes not moving the cat 1st. and his has got about 3 or 4 hexex of walls and towers he can hit.

I have had this bug quite a bit. Attaking buildings at max range (11) simply does not work sometimes - there is no 'destroy from' option. I'm not sure if this is linked into the other range bugs or not. (ie, the one that I believe is now fixed that would *sometimes* allow melee attacks on buildings from when not adjacent ).

I havent any proof for this, but Im willing to bet that if you have an army within 8 hexes you can damage buildings with the catapults at 11 range. When its only an outpost that allows you to see the building, the cats wont show an ability to shoot.

Kind of like the view army button not working at the extreme range of an outposts line of sight.

no, that's not it rogues_minions.

i had cats in ultra1 (last game cycle), and had troops by his castle (so i could definitely see my full range, as i was attacking the walls of his castle), yet couldn't get the cats to attack at the 11 range, only at 10.

this is a bug, and lots of people have experienced it.

Of course, what rogue said is true as well....

yeap...had tat problem too
i was outside the enemy`s castle back then and attempted to hit his barracks....
but i can onli hit his walls...
altho the barracks is within range...about 10-11 hex away

I found the problem was only when trying to destroy a building in the upper left hex, edge at max range. It seemed to work fine when attacking at max range into the upper hex edge. I don't know about the other edges.

I find that the catapult can attack TROOPS in the hex at max range but not attack the building. this seems to happen continually. is there 2 ranges? 1 for destroying buildings and 1 for killing people?
