Automatic Bombard?

[Dearmad]

Is this supposed to make that unit bombard the target every turn? Or what? It doesn't in my Epic game... at least with cannons and such... is it reserved for airplanes? If so why does the button show up for cannons and catapults? Also bombarding itself is slower now- the target crosshairs don't show up as fast as they used to. Annoying. Any fixes or improvements to this I'm missing?

Autobombard is usually conducted sometime in a turn. it could happen before you move any unit, or after you've move all your units. have you waited a few turns to see if it bombards?

Maybe I got too impatiant- I'll try again. I guess I didn't expect it to highlight the cannon I had set to autobombard. I'll hit "W" on it and see. The manaul says to hit shift-u or w but I thought I did that and nothing happened- Are you saying it can happen at the end of the turn all at once then?

Off to experiment.

Auto bombardment can happen very quickly and so you might not even notice it.

Even better, if that's so... though I'd like to see a few people hurting in the enemy town.

In addition, if an enemy is next to your auto-bombard units, they will interrupt it.
