Camel Archer - bugged?

[GlobularFoody]

Camel archers don't seem to be weak against spear/pikemen, or anything else for that matter, I'm guessing this is a bug as it says in the civilipedia they are supposed to be.

I just played a game where I had pikemen dying trying to attack them.

camels are knight's replacement so of course they would get penalty... did you check combat box for modifiers?

 

[GlobularFoody]

Yep, no penalty vs pikeman/spearman...like I said. No bonus when you attack a camel archer with either of those units. Maybe since they are a ranged unit, Firaxis forget to apply it?

 

[Glassmage]

maybe they are camels so pikemen ability to damage horses doesn't work...

 

[eazyseeker]

Chariot archers, camel archers and keshiks are treated NOT as mounted units, but as archery units, and as such spearmen/pikemen get no bonuses vs them.

Another error in civilopedia perhaps. This one is fixed in VEM.
