Sugar- I can confirm the 'range' problem for the cats as well. In game 40, sometimes my cats target correctly at 11 hexes away, other times it is 10. Whether I have troops close to the target is irrevelent, which is what at first I suspected was the problem.

Thanks, B-W, I've had a couple instances that I've been unable to use the cats at range 10.
Perhaps when REQ has the time he can fix this.

REQ, This bug really needs your attention.

I'm experiencing no 'destroy' options now on enemy bldgs at range 9!!

Edit: OK, perhaps something that's contributing to the bug. That building was within my sight, using an upgraded outpost...AFTER I moved up an army within 8 spaces THEN I did get the option to attack with the cats.

Please fix this bug Req.

And another thing, anyone can enter towers now, yet I believe only the person who built them actually gets the ranged bonus.

If we cannot destroy/takeover enemy towers then they should at least give the same ranged bonus to everyone.

Boe, in our recent fight, I moved ballistas into a tower constructed by you, the extra range was not shown by the gray indicator, but the ballistas could attack with the 3 hex extended range.
I neglected to attack once or twice simply because I forgot about the extended range, reacting to the gray indicator only. So you're correct at least to the point that the extra range isn't indicated and perhaps it doesn't work in all cases. Just another thing for Req to check when he has the chance.

Evidently, a few players aren't aware of the range and attack bug associated with catapults. Perhaps bumping this thread up will provide some insight.

I guess then that the bug I have been experiencing is an old one and probably not going to be fixed any time soon.
