ZX Mod Beta 2 Released

[Pericles]

Zarax:

A few suggestions:

1) It would be very helpful if the version of your mod (v2.0, etc) was labelled either in your first post and/or on the download itself. This helps to keep track of the latest version of your mod.

2) I did a little research and found out that most archers (both foot and horse) in the vanilla game have too few arrows. As most players know most in-game archers run out of arrows fairly quickly.

In real life most foot archers rarely ran out of arrows. For example, in England foot archers carried two sheaves of arrows (24 arrows each for a total of 48 arrows). In addition, baggage trains often accompanied the armies and these carried hundreds of thousands of arrows. In the Battle of Crecy about 5,000 English archers unleashed tens of thousands of arrows and not one archer ran out of arrows.

I have modified my unit production text file like this:

* foot archers have 48 arrows
* foot archers who also use swords have 35 arrows
* horse archers have 35 arrows
* Mongol horse archers have 45 arrows (they carried lots of arrows)
* foot crossbowmen have 30 arrows

I have done the above to give most archers more arrows without giving them unlimited arrows, so this would not unbalance the game.
