[FIXED] Catapults can melee attack

[Schimmi]

I tried the tutorial game and attacked Mecca with my catapult (right click, just forgot to set up before). It was a melee attack as my catapult was injured.
The save is just before the attack.

I think this is intentional. Does the Catapult have a base damage stat in addition to a ranged damage stat? Since it's a combat unit, base damage is used in case that unit is attacked, or in the off chance you're crazy enough to send it into "melee" combat, so if that's the case (I haven't tried using siege weapons yet) then it's probably intentional.

But it has the small red arrow that tells you "no melee attack" and it is stated so in the civilopedia!

I had the same thing happen with an indian war elephant.

Confirmed - thanks!

If you set-up and then ranged attack, it works normally. If you just right-click without setting-up, it takes damage as you note.
