Once again here with a rather blaring complaint.
Elves are supposed to be POWERFUL in terms of ranged units.
WHY DO YOU NERF THE (already laughable) BOLTHROWER!?!?!
It's essentially a useless unit already, why do you make it more useless? >:-(
And, for that matter, why do you continue to ignore the RIDICULOUSLY unfair advantage of ALL DARK Arti being non-LOS?
Now, ANGRY COMPLAINT over, I'll try to explain my position...
Artillery is, essentially, useless from my perspective; it's slow moving, low ranged, low survivability, and slow firing. Furthermore, you can't equip it, to improve its power. My elven archers can cross 70 missile with gear (speaking of which, why did you nerf (so very long ago!) my archers; even at level 10 with the best GLs I can find, I'm nowhere NEAR reaching their missile cap... I've never seen anything close to it, actually. and my archers *are* supposed to be the best in game, to compensate for my "weaker" LI/LIA/HI.), my artillery will *NEVER* reach 70 missile, and therefore will *NEVER* have as much damage, regardless of what you would like to think, to the contrary.
Admittedly, I've never had a lot of Artillery to play with, but with only 1 artillery, I cannot even get CLOSE to 15 kills with it, regardless of how much I target the center of large groups, weak units, etc... while my archers rarely get fewer than 20 kills unless their targeting fully GL HI.
But....
From the position of what I face in PVE; I can tell you this:
Overall, Light side artillery is, well, a complete and total JOKE. Why do you continue to nerf it?!!!!!!? EACH Light artillery I see, I laugh at; they're a super weak archer which cannot move; cannot take part in the fight, and generally proves a handicap to the "army" which brings it. I've never had high damage from Light artillery, since they simply cannot target my army... (and if you get high damage from Light artillery, it's because you seriously don't know how to use terrain!) whereas, Dark artillery, with it's ridiculous ability to fire OVER obstacles, proves outrageously strong; with 1 or 2, I take only an equivalently few losses from it before I destroy it, but when there are a large number (3+) of dark artillery, it can EASILY crush my army before I have the chance to deal with it...
