I know I was never good but I never remember a single time where the flying crow did me any good. It kept dying accomplishing maybe 20% of what it should have..
sounds about crow pls buff zoi
Something is wrong with the unit's switch to bombard and limber mode. It takes ages to complete. The flying crow feels like some ships in aoe3 on water, the ones who take years to finally shoot. Click again and the animation starts again..

Somehow industrial crows are really good though. I've never really understood why.

But why do they seem so shit in fortress and then get so seemingly great with the age 4 upgrade?

I mean 5 more range is huge, since you outrange other artillery. Also 1 more Splash is nice as well i guess. + The general statboost from Shadowtech.

It's basically the range yeah 23 to 28 is massive, like they lose to falcs in fortress but beat heavies in Indus

Oh yeah absolutely age IV crows are monsters with the range. Colonial crows are about as effective as 2 grenadiers, fortress its like an unholy union between grenadier and falconet and age 4 it's like a congreve rocket on roids

That must be it, I never used age IV crows much because whenever I used the wonder, it was to age 3, very rarely age 2 (for a quick cheesy all-in rush in team games).
