How to change archer max angle to 45

[firedragom]

Yeah true I decided to change it back to the default.

Concerning the power of archers, couldn't one just crank up the power manually by modding game files or something?

New to modding, just curious how that would work.

You can modfiy attack and range in export_descr_unit.txt and modify accuracy and initial speed in descr_projectile.txt.

Remember that the lower the accuracy value, the better.

Ok thank you miracle, I did what you said and effectively halved all those numbers beside unit accuracy vs. units, and archers are now as deadly as I want them :)

Thanks guys

I realize this is a one year old post, but I just had to ask my q's and make some comments - if anyone is still out there.
I don't like the angles because it seems to me -actually it is quite apparent to me - that many of the archer units fire at high arch more often than is justified by the target height. And logically, if the target can be seen from the bowman's angle, any angle over 45 should be unnecessary unless one is going for range. But this does not seem to be the case when firing at units close by on a wall. It seems that the bowmen use plunging fire in all such cases..No?

Secondly, in trying to change this, I adjusted the max angle settings but I don't think they 'took'. I know that one must do each type of arrow or bolt but I cannot seem to get it to change.

BTW I have added double the arrows a man can carry and for in-castle/town troops I have tripled or even more.

The most fun I have had is playing with 'bounce' for siege equipment.

If anyone knows why my angle mod is not working please post me here or a PM.

Thanks.
