I know this has been posted before...

...but using the Google-style search-engine of thise site and searching the "forum index"-threat for the tons of mods I still can't find it :embarassed: .

And since I've played MTW for the past weeks I'm not up to date to RTW.

So here's the question:

How do I adjust the range of javelins ?

There ist a superb tool for changing weapon-settings in MTW. Is there anything similar for Rome? If not, how do I alter it manualy?

If it is possible to change the range, what range would you suggest for good gameplaybalance ? :duel:

Thx for any :help: ,

Don't worry, I've lost countless bits of useful information somewhere in these forums (if only someone could point me back in the direction of that site with the unit stats and the cool interface with pictures of troops from all the different factions on the front page *sigh*).

The range of javelins is set in each individual unit's stat description in export_descr_unit.txt:

Code:

---

type            roman velite
dictionary      roman_velite      ; Velites
category        infantry
class            missile
voice_type      Light_1
soldier          roman_velite, 40, 0, 0.8
mount_effect    elephant +6, chariot +6
attributes      sea_faring, hide_improved_forest, hide_long_grass, can_sap
formation        1.6, 2, 3.2, 4, 3, square
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri        7, 2, javelin, 50, 6, thrown, archery, piercing, spear, 25 ,1

That '50' in the bottom line is the range.

Now you can go through the .txt file making changes to every javelin-equipped unit (a find and replace for javelin, 50 should do it), or you could explore the possibilities of GodsPetMonkey's Caligula unit editor programme about which you can find out more here.

As far as gameplay is concerned, Red Harvest has been doing a lot of missile investigation. Here are a few threads if you feel up to it:

Probably more than you want, but it's good reading!

Was it this one: http://www.totalwar.co.kr/rome/

Or this one?

Fast and accurate answers.

I love this forum ! Thx guys.

I'm gonna try out some settings as soon as I can.

So what's your values ? Which range do you use by yourself ?

Wow, that's posting board karma for you. :)
My thanks, therother, it's now safely bookmarked. Thanks also, Proletariat, I know SCC keep promising images but they're always broken when I look there...
