    Some additional notes on this video 1. I over-emphasized keen-sighted. its not necessary and unless you already have a ranged-heavy army you are probably better off with something that helps your army more like tough, its just nice to have 2. you can craft helms in the item forge that increase your heroes accuracy, very good for magelock heroes. 3. Critical hit chance also increases your accuracy so its great to get any additional crit chance you can.

    Great content! What’s the math on crit chance increasing accuracy? Just discovered your videos and I’m eating them up right now… next build plan is to combine your feudal unicorns and quick T5 vassal builds, but idk if any of that broke with the recent update

    @@IDidntVoteForThisOption In the Age of Wonders games you roll for Crit before you roll for hit and if you crit it is automatically considered a hit. In AoW4 your crit chance is also capped by the accuracy of the shot to prevent only stacking crit and not needing to worry about accuracy. For example a ranged unit with a crit chance of 80% does an attack with 50% accuracy the attack will have a 50% chance of crit a 25% of being a normal attack and a 25% chance of being a graze or miss.

    I still prefer 3 attacks. Wet and distracted are just insane debuffs. Easily doing 100+ damage per turn. However the higher range and combined with killing momentum makes this thing still interesting.

    The pistol and sword hero item never had a cooldown, that was a dragoon specific thing. The only change to the pistol and sword in this patch is that it now has breaching.

    good information! does 110% hit have any benefit apart from still being high if there are reductions?

    In addition to all the other reductions like line of sight, evasion, etc accuracy is also reduced by distance away from the target starting at 3 tiles (the exact formula is based on the max range of the weapon), so its nice to have a little over 100% like 110% or 120%. I think going over 120% starts to become a bit of a waste especially with a 1 action point weapon where you can reposition for a better shot.
