Maybe someone from CA (Jerome :) ) can shed some light on how the effects system can be used to implement blood particle effects for when a unit dies
or gets hit..

Hi Dagoster, welcome to the Org

that blood had to be minimized to get the desired game rating. I'm guessing that the effect is hard-coded, tho' those TWC guys are having some success in their substitution attempts.

I don't want to even think about the hit to frame rate if every single man spurted blood out when killed. Damn, huge battles would....be slow.

blood would be a nice addition, but would probably slow it down quite a bit

[Ashitaka-san]

I guess it would depend on how much blood you're talking about. Obviously, it would have to be an option that can be enabled/disabled.
But, that would be quite cool

This Is a new improved version of TheBloodMod

the effect only appears when a unit is killed and only when hit with a ranged
weapon.
