Bug Description:

Archer leaving archer posts


Bug Reproduction:

Archer leaving archer posts during a purge i.e.

It’s great that companions can now roll. Humanoid enemies can do it too, which I think is good. But why do archers have to roll away from archery posts? They just fidget around and hardly shoot any arrows. This makes defending against Purges practically impossible from level 4 onwards.

My archers stick to the archery post, yet when they shoot, they usually hit my own crenelated fences, rather then enemies, no matter if those enemies are higher or lower than post itself.

I find flotsam archer cren gives me best results.

I haven’t witnessed them rolling, but the top row of archers in our purge constantly goes off post, the others dont.

Post archers on elevated posts and have them set to hold position and attack at max range.

Remove any melee weapons. For this reason I don’t use archery posts and keep away from any crenelated fencing.

Have fully equipped fighters nearby to defend them when it becomes necessary.
