Line of Sight

Source

Line of sight depends on the selected difficulty of the game.

Easiest   4  tiles
Standard  6  tiles
Moderate  12 tiles
Hard      12 tiles
Hardest   12 tiles

As soon as a unit moves into the LOS of a wolf, he will chase and attack the unit. However some unit types are ignored, including:

  • King

  • Trade Cart

  • War Elephant

  • Teutonic Knight

  • War Waggon

  • Monk

  • All siege units

  • Scout (but light cavalry and hussars will be attacked)

  • Sheep (as comical as it sounds)

These units have to attack the wolf first, before they are chased and attacked.

Balancing

Source

Under normal circumstances a villager without “Loom” will always lose to a wolf. Even if the villager is the first to hit, the wolf should have at least 1 HP left.
