Carl's BugFixer (V1.1)

[Carl]

I've found the issue and it gives me an easy way of fixing the problem regarding adding lost of defence to the Halberds.

The Obudshaer's are classed as Hardy, removing that from their description TREBLES enemy kill rates against them, so in theroy if I make all Halberds Hardy or Very_Hardy they should need less defence skill to be cav resistant and that will kill the missile defence issue. Since they cost so much and are so late in the tech tree it's not like it would be tottally unbalancing to have them running around fresh for so long IMHO.

To allow moders to try out my Halberds in their current state, here's the Voulgier Entry:

EDIT: scratch that, Hardy/Very Hardy only seems to work in situations where the chance of a kill is low to start with, I guess it's a fixed reduction of -1% or -2% from the chances and dosen't have much of an effect when the defence of a unit is low. Back to the drawing Board.

p.s. to help people understand how they are working ATM. Halberds are now roughly the equivelent of Papal Guard with S&S level melee/anti-missile capabilities on top., their numbers being the only reason they beat S&S units. They get beat up pretty much as S&S with 60 men would by 2-Handers, and do about right v. spears. It's only pikes they seem out of sync with. (and missile for Swiss Guard/Obudshaer's ).
