Re: Caelum questions
But in Caelums case, having your troops positioned forward is a liablity isn't it? I normally position a screen of single archers normally 2 deep so arrows and melee troops have to go through 2 lines of single units. Then archer blocks behind them, and mages to the very rear.
This gives maximum time for arrows and spells to rout the melee troops.
Even when in optimal range, with Aim and windguide cast, low prec spells still miss.
NTJedi, that wasn't the case in this battle. Caelums mages fly, and I position them at the very edge of the battlefield. The only possible way they could die by melee is:
1) They are passed out due to fatigue
2) Atleast one unit has its morale intact.
And the way I position them, #2 almost is impossible. Every single mage killed was over 100 fatigue. The second the army routes the mages are off the field. Quickness wouldn't help at all.
