Archers will fire at targets on a different z plane, but the bolt doesnt' seem to go up and down.

Odd.  Can you shoot z-things in adventure mode?  I wonder if there's a difference.

Ahh, I saw this mentioned in another thread. It seemed to work ok for me in 32a (fortress mode), as a marksdwarf got slaughtered by kobolds that were 1 z level above him (while he was on his way to fight them... I had thought that they had run out of arrows...). I haven't had an opportunity to see if it works or not in 33a. And that's only for invaders; I don't know about my dwarfs' firing abilities.

Mmmmm....this sounds bad. I wanted to design a nice tower near my fortress entrance and let marksdwarves guard on the top of the tower, but as people have said in the other thread, the dwarves rarely hit anything from other z levels. I dont know if its true or not, but if it is, its really bad.
