Thank you! sometimes I just can't deal with people who don't want to pay attention to the topic.
Umm... You complained about the archers targetting your own troops because it "wasn't realistic." I pointed out that friendly fire makes up a substantial fraction of casualties in war, and that it therefore perhaps wasn't so unrealistic anyway. How was I more off topic than you in that exchange?

Because this topic isn't about friendly fire. It's about purposely targeting allies. I realise as soon as you saw the topic name you assumed I was a newb getting mad at the amount of friendly fire. This is not the case. And I'm not trying to be grumpy.

Usually if you zoom in on the battles (pageUp/pageDown and arrow keys) you can see that targeting doesnt have much to do with it. Its usually more like firing toward in the general direction of the Last enemies seen.

But I havent seen the battle you are referring to so its just a comment based on my battles
