This attack type always occurs in combination with another attack type.

Units of attack type RANGED are special in battles:

they are pushed back in stack order (by 2:3) at the beginning of the battle.
In a battle, strikes by RANGED unit will fail in dealing counter damage, but the counter attempt still fatigues the enemy unit.
RANGED attacks, like MAGIC attacks, do NOT trigger the Bursting by enemy units.
- (regardless of the additional attached attack types)

RANGED attacks are modified by the following items, spells and unit ability:

The item Missile Shield raises resistance to RANGED attacks for a unit
The unit ability Large Shield adds +50% resistance to the effective resistance of the ranged attack
- e.g.: a unit can have a combined restistance to RANGED+COLD of 30% (the average of RANGED and COLD resistance solely);
- if this unit also has Large Shield, it effectively has 30+50=80% RANGED COLD resistance

to be added: NOTE ON SECONDARY RANGED UNITS AND THEIR PAIRING VERSUS ALL FLYING STACKS?
