Can someone explain mechanics of some skills?
Skill "Shoot"
What does it exactly mean prioritize group attacks in battles?
Skill "Sniper"
What is "except in humid conditions"? Different conditions? Is it introduced in the game right now?

The "prioritize group attacks in battles" is just the fluff text to say that the enemy infantry and cavalry cannot counter. I am not exactly sure what "humid conditions" are but you have to admit that that Sniper is rock-solid as a skill.  |

So sniper is like mass fire in ew4? Nice.
But about the lack of retaliation, it only works against cavalry and infantry, right?

But Sniper is not like Mass Fire. That would be "Indestructible". No, Sniper is way too broken to be that from what I can tell. It seems to be a permanent Headhunting. |

Ok, now I have to peruse the handbook to find out what headhunting and indestructible (and many others) do Quite a lot of skills/perks in this game, and descriptions seem murkier than ever... |

Headhunting is the active skill of Saladin, Robert the Bruce, and Basil, saying deal maximum RNG damage for that turn. |

Based on my observation, melee units only hit the front row (unless charge is activated) but archers can also hit the back row. Not sure if the damage is equally shared, taken randomly, or split among all. Well, I am not even sure if this is correct so maybe you can try it out. |

There is a legion effect skill "Elephant" for the Elephant archers. According to the description it only works in case of successful charge. But elephant archers unit has no option of charge attack.
Does it mean that the skill is useless for this unit type?
Melee cavalry War elephants have charge option, so it is clear. But what about Elephant archers?
