Do you mean that literally or really just roll-eyed? I mean, this game is so complex, I would not even wonder if they had implemented a rule that shields only work in the direction the unit is facing!!!

Yes, I already noticed that!!!

Mages do not use gems if the opposition is (or rather seems) weak ... shouldnt Archers cease fire if the traget is already swarmed by friendly units???

I know that this "no-gem-usage-for-whimps-rule" annoys quite some people (or rather the definition of whimp is what annoys them), but this would also solve the missing "fire and hold"-command: Fire = Fire until no sensible targets. Propably it wouldnt even affect balance that much, since its the AI's choice when to cease fire...

(Besides: I'm still not clear about the Range-value then. It's the max range, ok, but how does precision and actual range influence the target square choosen...?))
