New Ranged Attack Mechanism?

[Dom Pedro II]

Ranged attack on a world map? Wouldn't that mean superstrong archers launching god-bolts over hundreds of miles of mountainous terrain to hit targest beyond the horizion?

Seems.. a bit odd.

They're not really launching it hundreds of miles... just out of reach of melee weapons. The defenders are standing right on the edge of one tile and the archers are right on the edge of the other firing across the line.. it's like when you go to Four Corners and stand in four states at the same time.
