:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

old legacy bug from vanilla where forts and artillery will completely miss shots against adjacent units. this may also affect upgraded castles and towers, as well as the Agra.

partial aoe damage may be inflected but the shot will not connect.

if you want I can show a video of a chinse monk soloing a fort while taking nearly 0 damage a shot.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. put unit adjacent to a fort or artillery, within its model
  2. watch it get shot for nearly 0 damage

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

the targeted unit takes full damage. its not so much an issue with mobile artillery as it is with forts, as you can safely take them down with enough time with the correct positioning.

German Ronin taking advantage of German engineering flaws to reduce fort damage by 80%.
