[General] About High Ground Advantage

[Lohengrin]

Hellooo,

The high ground advantage in wc3, which makes ranged units have a reduced % to hit when attacking from lower ground to higher ground, specifically applies to cliff levels, and not hills or differences in elevation, correct?

 

[GreeN!X]

Yes. BUT only if you use blizzard cliffs and not the other way to make the cliffs. The miss chance can be changed in the gameplay constants.

 

[EdgeOfChaos]

Yes, that is correct.

The advantage of high ground is also in the vision that it grants you; units cannot see the area beyond the high ground from normal ground. This is particularly important for ranged units with a long range.
