Zone of Control?

[Erasenkopf]

I am playing as Chairman Era Sung and have built a Civ version of the great Chinese Wall made of fortresses and have Riders as frontiers. My idea was that they should use their Zone of Control abilities but surprisingly when the cruel Japanese declared war and moved troops into Riders defending area nothing happened.

Shouldn´t they have a free shot at passing enemies?

Maybe I have totally misunderstand the Zone of Control ability...

I have the 1.16f version.

Erase...

ZOC does give a gree shot. However, like other things in teh game you won't see the shot if no damage is done. And if you have animations turned off, like me, you will only know that your enemy was hit after looking at their hit points. And of course if they move a stack, that injured one will probably be hidden.

ZoC is very unreliable, especially with Fortresses. Sometimes they'll take a shot, sometimes they won't. Usually they won't. And if they do, they only take off 1 hit point, not really enough to make a difference. IMO, that whole area needs to be improved considerably, it's pretty much useless as is. You're better off bringing in some Catapults, or whatever, and bombarding them. You'll have much more success that way.
