Archers and other units which is not flying or just units that have high sight range shouldn't be able to see what is on the other side of a mountain.

Mountain terrain should block the sight of units like how they block they're movement.

This is a suggestion.

this is similar than the previously suggested shooting over walls or not - if so, please help me find that topic for merge.

I corrected the mistake on should, it should be "shouldn't".

Also Archers can really shoot over walls.

I still think Stratego's topic is completely different from mine. I don't get the connection between not being able to shoot beside a wall and mountain terrains or high level terrain being able to block the sight of units and not just see everything.

I still think this is a good suggestion

I have created that kind of topic for both mountains and walls. I think that line of sight should decide if a unit can be attacked or not (technically you shouldn't be able to see even across forests)

I've read the links and it's old though still relevant. Why are they in AOS section? Is it because it's old?

In terms of attacking base on line of sight, what I'm suggesting is it to be like on AOWW. Units there with big range but have small vision, thus you will need other units (like airplanes) to go spot thus gaining vision(like a guided attack).

This is an opinion also a suggestion.

They are on AoS cause these are engine modifications
