Archers press X for indirect fire WITH A POLL BECAUSE DEMOCRACY = GAME BALANCE

[MrShovelFace]

The ability for archers to traject their arrows over large barriers is sorely missing. Bows should have an alternative fire mode that reduces projectile speed in order the increase arrow drop

While indirect fire is next to useless in battle mode it is most certainly useful in strategus battles
Armys with lots of archers and lots of arrows could find this tactic insanely useful for attacking those pesky villagers hiding behind buildings. Indirect fire would also bring forth a whole new aspect of the game for archers. Rather than guesstimating the drop for arrows archers would have to calculate what distance requires what angle.

This can be the beginning of some epic archer mass volleys.

+1!

And to add to your suggestion:

3 modes as you toggle the indirect firing mode. Long / Medium / Short. Simple and easy.

Although I don't have any faith that we're going to have proper archer volleys in cRPG, the option would be nice. Sure add this, while we're at it, add fire arrows now that WSE seems to be picking up steam.

[Overdriven]

Hells yes...this would be fantastic for strat

[Phew]

Maybe just have early releases lose speed as well as accuracy? Then you wouldn't have to mess with weapon modes or anything, just release the shot earlier in the draw for reduced velocity. Like how it works in real life.

[Jarlek]

Awesome

[The_Angle]

This would be epic.

[HarunYahya]

Really good idea indeed .
It would add more epic moments to battle.
-It'll also add QQ threads like "OMG Now my old friendchers can shoot without even seeing me !!!"- but anyway it'll be good methinks.

I don't play Strategus, so I don't know how useful this would be for the rest of us, but I see no reason for this to not exist.

I can just imagine Fallen doing this shit in pubs for massive lulz and TK.


100000x times yes.

We already have in Strat, one of our first village fights we found the place on the map where if you aimed at a specific chimney (some snowy map) and fired straight up, the dozen and a half archers could indirect the spawn, very impressive when we finally walked into the village and saw all the arrows pointing straight down like some messed up flowerbed.

This feature making indirect easier though, that would be nice.

+1 to the idea also shovel

[Memento_Mori]

This would be very neat to see.

I got the idea from the comical peasant wars between brd and choas where brd on the opposite side of a building were killing people by throwing rocks up at a 85 degree angle and getting head shots lol

cannerys like lulz retrn fires

This nice suggestion deserves a bump in the name of the poster above.
