CA foot missile bug fix and more!

I tested these changes and it didnt fix the archer issue. the Archer bug is based on Armor to Attack ratio on the missile archer units.

I think fixes like these should be tested by others before being loaded as a tutorial.

For a start this thread is from well over a year ago and are you using DarthMod?

Doesnt matter on the age, its a matter of it being a tutorial for something that doesnt do what is claimed. I designed the SPQR mod, and I am not ignorant of RTW mechanics, the changes he suggested when testing didnt provide the results claimed.

Basically the Archer Bug isnt a Bug at all but a Feature by CA to allow archers not to Waste the ammo on Very heavy units which cause them little damage. Thus having the AI focus on the lighter units. This of course caused problems for us.

The way to fix this is a FINE balance between the Maximum setting for Attack on the archers and the Defence values of the most tough unit plus adjusting the Hitpoints which are not effected by the ratio bug. Also weather considerations need to be taken into effect because the penalties given to the archers attack.

I am not attacking anyone, I just feel there are enough modders that agree this fix isnt a fix at all. This has nothing to do with Darthmod or DarthVader as a person. He has contributed alot to RTW and RTR mod etc. But that doesnt mean that this fix is correct or that he is right all the time.

Sincerely,

Not sure that the "foot missile bug" is a feature (I've done my share of balancing and unit behaviour research), but agree this should probably be removed or a note added or sth), since it has been comfired to be inaccurate.

Sorry i thought it worked as no one had said it didn't work in the thread.

It never worked for me but I was coding and testing in BI and Darth always maintained that he had only tested in RTW so I assumed perhaps there was something different with that exe - however, I later spoke with others and they also said it did not work in RTW.

I am not altogether sure what made Darth think it worked in the first place...

Sounds like Voodoo to me.
