|Ranged Attack
|Attacks with projectiles (usually long range), uses attacker's damage stat to calculate damage dealt<br>In most instances an item is required for units to perform a ranged attack. Some items allow units to shoot more than one projectile at once<br>The way accuracy and projectile path is calculated is quite complicated and would be messy to explain:
* ''If you want to read directly from the code see "attackRangeAction()" in the "CombatActionLibrary"''
* The accuracy stat has a strong effect on projectile accuracy. Accuracy for all units is equal to 1 except for Arrows boats which have 4 accuracy
* The game calculates accuracy for each projectile fired. So, if a unit can fire multiple projectiles at once some may end up be more accurate then others
* If a unit has a bigger (size * scale) stat then they can be hit from a closer range

|Cast Spell
|'''''Fore more info on specific spells see the Spell Action table below'''''<br>Uses a spell:
* The unit will decide a random spell to use from the spells they are able to cast
** [[File:Achievements equipment explorer10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Items can unlock specific spells
** [[File:PawSymbol10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Subspecies traits in talent category unlock spells
** [[File:IconReligionList10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Religion traits unlock spells
** [[File:IconChosenOne10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]The Chosen One [[Traits|trait]] unlocks all spells except silence
* [[File:IconMana10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the unit does not have enough mana to cast the randomly selected spell then the action cancels
* The game will then calculate the spell's chance of success. A unit's spellcasting stat increases the chance of success 
** [[File:IconIntelligence10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Every 5 intelligence gives +1% spellcasting
** [[File:IconLevels10x2.png|frameless|28x28px]]Being above level 5 gives +10% spellcasting

** [[File:IconSpellBoost.png|frameless|28x28px]]Spell Boost [[Status Effects|status effect]] gives +20% spellcasting
* [[File:IconBuildings 10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell is meant for buildings and the unit's target isn't a building then the spell fails
* [[File:IconPopulation10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell is meant for a creature and the unit's target is a building then the spell fails
* [[File:IconHealth10xEdit.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell has a health ratio and that ratio is equal to or less than the caster's health ratio then the spell fails
* [[File:Icon bow wood.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell has a minimum distance that the caster is closer to the target than that minimum distance then the spell fails
* ''[[File:IconRecoverySpell.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell succeeds after this point then it is caster and the caster gets the Spell Recovery [[Status Effects|status effect]]''
