Faster Battles (temporary submod for EB 2.0.0)

[QuintusSertorius]

Of course we are.

Also might update the post to include a version with speeds in between the original and the first update. That way I and some of our members are not the only to test this (hopefully). So feedback would be welcome.

I'd gladly test a slightly slower one than the doubled version above - perhaps 0.3 or 0.33 for melee/cavalry and 0.4 or 0.44 for missiles? So a halfway house to the halfway house.

EDIT: You did one while I was replying! I think I'll try that first.

Missiles were a bit strong to my feelings. Ibrahim (who does our unit stats) even suggested setting them lower than melee. I'd like to give this a try. Though missiles can only be really tested when they all work (referring to skirmisher problems). If this makes arrows to strong, but not javelins we may need to fine tune attack ratings rather than the missile factor.

I've edited mine thus:

<combat-balancing>
<missile-target-accuracy>
<infantry>0.4</infantry>
<cavalry>0.33</cavalry>
<elephants>0.4</elephants>
</missile-target-accuracy>
<melee-hit-rate>0.25</melee-hit-rate>

I've only tweaked melee up a tiny but, and made foot missiles more effective than mounted missiles (barring elephants; I'm guessing that was left higher because there are fewer of them in a unit?). I'll find out tomorrow evening when I get back home what it's like.
