Default Re: Missing Features

If it's for realism reasons, i.e. they can't see the rearmost, what about archers? They are very frequently behind the infantry columns as well.

I think in real life also, that historically, it was very rare that battles occured on perfectly flat plains like they do in D2. I think that's probably an appreciated attempt at realism, but inherently flawed.

I'm curious though about the balance part - That could be a very good reason however. I wonder though how unbalancing it could really be. Properly protected or armoured command units etc shouldn't have much of a problem vs most projectiles. Unless it's a crossbow or an arbalest it shouldn't be too much of a danger - and those don't really have the range to reach the rear.
