Bummed about bows

from SorcererKing Forums

I just bought Sorcerer King.  It is awesome, and I can't wait to see what's still to come.  I have also played Elemental/Legendary Heroes since the first Elemental release.

Anyway - will bows and ranged weapons just always have unlimited range, and be able to fire over all obstacles?  Will you guys ever implement cover, so there is someplace to hide from bows and ranged weapons?

I keep hoping that one of these games, you will fix this.  It really ignores any sort of tactical options with the terrain, and positioning your units so ranged weapons can't hit you.

So - will this just always be how it is?

The devs said that it is like this and it is not going to change. 

They are careful what kind of complexity they add to tactical battles, they want them fast and about special abilities.

Thanks bpalczewski.  Well, I really, really hate this aspect.  But, I love these games so I have to deal with it.

Onwards!

Personally I don't care about range so much..... but basic LOS would be great for bows (and bolt type spells).

Right.  Otherwise, every battleground may as well just be a wide open field.  What's the point otherwise?

Choke points are cool, but nothing blocks a ranged attack now, and that's pretty lame.

Stardock seems to always make great decisions, but I think this one is horrible.
