Chinese Fire Archer shooting sound is ear-piercing

Hi all,

I notice that fire archer’s shooting sound in the Chinese civ is really ear-piercing. It sits in this harsh high-frequency range that makes it genuinely uncomfortable to play for extended sessions.

I can hear mosquito tones that most of my friends can’t, so I might be picking it up more acutely than others……. but I don’t think that makes it less of a real issue. The end result is I just avoid playing Chinese entirely because of it, which feels like a waste for such a well-made game.

Hopefully this can get looked at in a future patch. Anyone else notice this?

(I just created an account to make this post. I’ve been playing AoM since the original, loved it as a kid, and huge thanks to the devs for reviving this classic. :slight_smile: )
