Faster Battles (temporary submod for EB 2.0.0)

[mikeboix]

Great, battles were extremly slow. What have you done here? Change troops in order to have more attack points?

[QuintusSertorius]

What does it change?

[Moros]

It doesn't change stats, it merely changes the kill ratio of hits.

While vanilla has a 1.0, factor the first release has a factor of 0.22. I doubled it to 0.44 making it less extreme.

I quite liked the slower melee kills, it was everything else (cavalry, missiles) that seemed off to me. I'll give it a try in any case, this is the beta after all, where we're supposed to be trying things out.

Same here. Slower rate seems more realistic to me. Cavalry needs to really charge.

They were both working before.

If you can't, you can always edit your own yourself (make sure you copy it first as a backup) with Notepad or Notepad++. The file is in [M2TW]\mods\EBII\data and it's battle_config.xml. There's just four numbers to edit to whatever your preferred ratio is, located at the top of the file.

In the original (fast) one they are:

<combat-balancing>
<missile-target-accuracy>
<infantry>0.5</infantry>
<cavalry>0.5</cavalry>
<elephants>0.6</elephants>
</missile-target-accuracy>
<melee-hit-rate>0.44</melee-hit-rate>
</combat-balancing>


In the second (not-as-fast) one they're:

<combat-balancing>
<missile-target-accuracy>
<infantry>0.35</infantry>
<cavalry>0.35</cavalry>
<elephants>0.45</elephants>
</missile-target-accuracy>
<melee-hit-rate>0.35</melee-hit-rate>
