When archers go bad! VERY BAD!

I have only observed this in 2.08, and it seems quite common.

Interestingly, I've seen the computer shoot itself as well.

Are you familiar with that math problem, or am I reading too much into you post?

No, I'm sorry. Archers purposely firing at allies is not realistic.

Just Last combat my calvary turned around and started heading toward their own allies. Luckilly they were too far away to get in range of attacking themselves.

You might want to have a look at this document before you decide on wether it's realistic or not: http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...t/1992/KAC.htm

Leif, I think there's a difference between firing at perceived enemies and accidentally hitting friendly targets, and deliberately firing at friendly targets because there are no enemies to shoot at. That kind of behavior sounds more like something that happens in an FPS populated by smacktards than anything realistic.

That's one of the things I love about this Dominions forum: that I learn new things every day (other than pithy Norfy sayings). In this case, a new {choice insult} ...

Is this really a word? I can't seem to find it in vocabulary.
