Multiple Missiles?

[Malkanor]

I recently picked up Rome Total War again, after way too many years, and began modding it for fun! After creating my own completely broken archer unit (range of 1000+!), I was looking to make my archers even better. I have a few things i want to try, but haven't the slightest clue on where to begin :shame:
a) Is there any way for a unit to simultaneously fire multiple arrows at once via text editing or something similar?

b) How do you make a unit able to fire flaming arrows
i)Also, how do you make flaming arrows more accurate

Many thanks! :2thumbsup:
(This is my first post, so... I have no clue if this is even the right place to post :sweatdrop: )

Hello Malkanor, welcome to the .Org ~:wave: .

A more experienced modder may correct me on this, but as far as I know:

A) is not possible. You may be able to alter the projectile graphic to make it appear double, but in-game it would still count as a single projectile.

B) Apparently, you need to create a second projectile-weapon entry starting with "flaming". Check this (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?92861-Flaming-Javelins) topic. But I think it's easiest to copy the entry of a unit that already has flaming arrows and adapt it to your own archer. This will also allow you to set accuracy.

Thank you so much! My Archers of Apollo shall now rain fiery doom upon their enemies! Any chance you know a thread that shows how to make the arrow at least appear to be double? I'm going for the "Our arrows shall blot out the sun" effect :sneaky: Thanks again!

Unfortunately not. There are projectile image files that can be modded, but I have no idea how. You'll have to search the RTW modding forums.
