Fire Archer fortified-shore pressure
Fire Archer: Fire Archers can threaten fortified positions from unusual range and carry building pressure, giving Wu a way to attack a Castle Age defense without immediately walking siege into it.
Overview
Fire Archer: Fire Archers can threaten fortified positions from unusual range and carry building pressure, giving Wu a way to attack a Castle Age defense without immediately walking siege into it.
Plan and execution
Build a protected firing line and focus a single Castle, Tower, or wall section while the rest of the army holds off defenders. Use vision to stay outside the target’s effective reach and add the relevant technology before committing to a large siege effort.
Risks and adaptation
The ranged line still needs protection from cavalry and siege. Do not place Fire Archers where the opponent can close quickly or split their fire across multiple structures.
