Faster Battles (temporary submod for EB 2.0.0)

The angle only changes the trajectory together with speeds and determines if soldiers will fire javelins.
If you need more accuracy then the accuracy factor should suffice.

I've actually tested with that while fixing skirmishers not firing javelins. Put the values even to 0.12 like you also found out and a lot of javelins will find the mark.

just so you guys know--this is to help with testing: "accuracy" is a bit of a misnomer: found that out with Paedric at the twcenter a while back.

what it really is is the "scatter" of the missiles in radians to each side. If you guys want to get super pedantic (like I did with the archers and slingers), you can try to figure out a historic accuracy using that, and then tweak how deadly the hits are with battle_config.

That will; explain the smaller scatter with smaller values! , thanks.
Anyway was not intending to do that. Too much work + you need time to research those things.

What are the new default values in 2.01?

I believe so yes. @Moros can you confirm?

Having looked myself, it's 0.35 all round (and 0.45 for elephant missiles).

[Moros]

0.35 for both missile and melee, except elephants.

I'm actually quiete happy with the (slightly adjusted) values now as a javelin throwing unit may just get the edge needed over another one that doesn't throw.
After some campaign battles I must say archers are just good too since they don't do as much damage against units with shields or armor (even naked fanatics=shields sufficent).

So what I said before was kind of bullshit, since the game allready calculates from where a shot has been taken (at least it seems to me) and wether or not the unit has a shield.

Is this hardcoded and just reads some values (for amour for example) from files or is it handled in another config?

And does it make sense to put elite units on right flank, since the right side is more vulnerable?

I suspect that it's the same as in RTW1, i.e. the armour protects from all sides, the shield protects the front and the left sides and the defensive skill protects the front and the right sides, but doesn't protect against missiles at all.
