In dom3 I agree. It seem to have changed in dom4. Bone glaive trigger with both D9 and F9. But I wouldn't bet that because secondaryeffect work with F9 and D9 mean that thoses bless stacks. |

Exactly how viable do you think nonbuffed short bows are in the mid and late ages, guys? |

I expected SenterLeenk to say hyperbole once again. We got it that you hate LA Caelum and that everything that even begin to look like something that is in it deserve your righteous fury. It's not true simply because you shout it. Short bow are good as specific counter I would say. Cheap chaff often isn't that well armored. Of course, the cheap chaff was often hit by nerf in dom4 anyway, like the markata being undisciplined. |

Just played some MA Man which has access to shortbows, longbows, and crossbows. Shortbows don't seem to be really that great against anything that has armor better than leather. Longbows and Crossbows on the other hand are still rather good. |

Also, the one quality that everyone likes about shortbows is the quantity of shortbows you can usually get for a low price, or few resources. As Stalin said "Quantity has a quality all its own." (at least it is attributed to him). When you can fill the air with arrows, something is bound to happen. At the very least, you force the enemy to invest in shields. |

Sorry, my hateboner for Return of the Raptors is making me upset. Here's a list of late age nations and their best ranged recruitables. Jomon: Samurai Archers with Longbows Marignon:Crossbowmen with Crossbows Man: Crossbowmen with Crossbows Ulm: Rangers with Crossbows Mictlan: Warriors with Slings and Javelins Lemurai: Spectral Legionaries with Spectral Javelin C'tis: Poison Slingers with Poison Slings Pythium: Legionaries with Javelins Arco: Slingers and Peltasts with Slings and Javelins Agartha: Agarthan Crossbowmen with Agarthan Crossbows Urd: Jotun Hurlers and Javelinists with Javelins and Boulders Patala: Bandar Archers and Nagas with Longbows and Poison Spit Gath: Reubenite and Benjamites with Shortbows and Slings Midgard: Archers with Shortbows Tien Chi: Barbarian Horsemen and Ancestor Vessels with Composite Bows and Howling Bows Pangaea: Satyr Snipers with Crossbows Abyssia: Axe Throwers with Throwing Axes Atlantis: Seal Hunters with Harpoons Caelum: Spirehorn Archers with Shortbows The nations that have weak ranged units like Midgard and Abyssia make up for it with skilled and armored infantry. If it's not armor, it's something special like cheap sacreds for Mictlan or etherealness for Lemuria. Caelum has neither good archers or melee infantry that are better than the average indy heavy infantry. |

It's not exactly like Patala or Bogarus have stellar non-ranged troop to supplement their weak archer. (the Bandar archer suffer from poor precision and heavy cost, while the Black hood are very costly for archer). I don't see the Pangea troop to be much of a selling point either. Also, LA Caelum have quite better troop (most proeminently the Raven Guard) than the other Caelum, but it's still pretty weak troops. It's pretty amusing to see that the very same ice equipment of Caelum have lead LA Atlantis to have supersoldiers

I think the biggest problem by far is the fact that the Caelians tend to break formation while flying, but that's more of a mechanical problem than a balance one. Also, they get MONSTROUS fatigue whenever they move so that's a problem as well. |

Late Age Caelum sadly is not guaranteed a thunderstrike caster. Air boosters are hard to forge, so you would have to have a pretender make one so your 3A Harab Elder can use storm so the other harab elders/caelian seraphs can cas storm power then thunderstrike. Both of which are cap only.

Jesus dude, can you let just one thread discuss something other than Caelum? LA Caelum has some problems but honestly they are not bad at all unless you are only playing SP and the only problem you have to fight is the AI making ridiculously large armies and pooping them out on every single province. Caelum sucks at that. So if you're playing against the AI your most valuable weapons are not helpful. In MP Caelum is probably the most obnoxious nation if played correctly and you use small troops of air buffed melee and archers supported by your harabs battle summoned skellies to soak up melee and distract before the eagles tear apart back lines. You just attack as many PD provinces as possible every turn and scatter. The nation does not suck, you suck at the nation or you are not playing against an opponent that gives half a dungpile about how sneaky and obnoxious you can be and doesn't feel the economic impact of constant raiding. They do need some attention if only because for one of the most unique nations they do not have neat national spells or summons. And almost all of their national troops don't make sense or redundant. There's only the one viable play style and it is almost exactly the same throughout every age. |
