The problem with the messenger is all that it can do is recall an army, nothing else. If it were changed so messengers could give more orders that would solve this problem. ------------- http://live.xbox.com/en-US/MyXbox/Profile?gamertag=G0DsDestroyer" rel="nofollow - Tia mi aven Moridin isainde vadin |

And since messengers are only worth 1 use they need more uses. ------------- http://live.xbox.com/en-US/MyXbox/Profile?gamertag=G0DsDestroyer" rel="nofollow - Tia mi aven Moridin isainde vadin |

i heard that there is something called "blockade" and i tink that there should be something similar to this that interceps outgoing or ingoing (not shure if it is a real word) caravanas and i think it should also block military reinforment(if the blockade is strong enough) and freeze or decease new military producion(not able to produce more troops) and freeze resore producion in that city so its practicly capturing it but the city is still in the players hang ony not able to practicly do anything. This might sound a litle to much but thats wat would kinda happen in real life and it also makes the player inside the blockade to negociat to breake free from the blokade but if the player causing the blockade wants to capture or anaialate then shust not do the blokade and siege it. |

| and i think that the archers should really attack long range like when your lik 5 or 10 squars away (depending of archer type) they would alredy inflicting damage on the attacking ordefensive point |

| If archers are given attack range function, I demand super effective anti/non-archer units. |

Maybe if battles were fought over a period of time, the archers would get to attack at the beginning of the battle twice, as if they were firing into an oncoming army. ------------- Soon, very soon, my name will become synonymous with chicken alfredo.... mmm.... chicken alfredo.... |

| Their stats already reflect that. |

In another game like this I played, you would get a "battle report" saying when each side fired and how much damage they did. That is what I am talking about. Also, see HM's "non instantaneous battles (http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/noninstantaneous-battles_topic1066.html)." ------------- Soon, very soon, my name will become synonymous with chicken alfredo.... mmm.... chicken alfredo.... |

| Yes, I've read it, but as I said, Archer stats in this current version of battle reflects the attacking from affair. Technically. |

Really? Is it incorporated into their attack or is it a separate bonus? ------------- Soon, very soon, my name will become synonymous with chicken alfredo.... mmm.... chicken alfredo.... |

| its the archers higher defense stats that reflect fighting from the back |

Well, that's not exactly an attack bonus, but I guess it makes sense. I'm saying if non-instantaneous battles were ever to happen, then archers should get one or two shots off before the actual fighting happens. This is different than standing at the back of an army, which, I agree is reflected in their defense stats. ------------- Soon, very soon, my name will become synonymous with chicken alfredo.... mmm.... chicken alfredo.... |

| well i think the archers should attack from 1 or 2 aquars behind like gods destroyer said and messangers should give more orders and why do they need to be used 1 time i dont get it. |

Also, everyone except archers has poor defense against archers, specifically because archers get to attack first (from a distance). This is why archers are the best troops in the game - best relative attack and defense, except maybe against cav on flat. |

| if archers were to fire from another square, thats saying that archers could fire arrows miles or km or whatever unit the squares are in, when really, archers only fire a couple hundred feet/meters. |
