Enemy Archer damage (insane)

[Fast]

I get it, its supposed to be hard. But Why are they so ridiculously strong for the sake of it. They one shot my tanks...reguarly with shields. All my men have 20%+ Ranged DR minimum and its like they arent wearing anything when it comes to archers.

Hi There, it may be because there was a bug in the release build that set difficulty to "Insane" by default. Check your difficulty settings.

So i figured it out. Just make all your guys use a shield with high block chance :) And get taunt on everyone :)

All my guys have 50% or more RANGED DR and they still hit hard but you can wipe them easy with taunt and they rarely hit with high block chance.

I am actaully having an archer issue on medium/normal as well the archers have a 100% hit rate where i am lucky to get 1 in 100 to land. There is substantial damage as well, ie archers have one shot pretty much every character i have, and if they do not one shot them they deffinatly go down in the second shot. Rarely if ever am i getting past the 2nd round of archers unless i can get them to move and not take a shot. By the third round they are back to normal hitting ratios ie 1 in 100 like my own characters.

- Use cover to reduce enemy hit chance;
- Focus your own archers on taking out theirs - and use the ability your archers have to remove partial cover from your enemy;

Additional tips:
-Use demoralise to reduce enemy hit chance.
-Try and get/make armour for those vulnerable to archers with high ranged damage reduction.

Does not help when they hit for 150 - 200 hp AND you are in COVER, especially early game before you leave for the first time.. tips that would help....

Turning down the 100% hit rate on enemy archers, this is not a one time thing that i have noticed. Especially when they are ONLY in the first 2 rounds, after that they go down to normal hit rates and damage. I have also seen though rarely where a melee character that can (Rats fight) punch do 120 pts of damage and one shot a character.

Now there are many many other bugs that i have not listed yet as they are more annoyances than game breaking and might on the rarest occasion actually be a crit roll, but (wolves that all hit with the knockdown) they do actually happen.

150-200 sounds like you're playing on a very high difficulty and the enemies are landing crit. If you feel like you're getting crushed a lot, you can always lower the difficulty, or specifically the slider for enemy damage.

If you have specific bugs, please post them in the support forum.
