How to Tweak Ranged Units

[Mav01]

Is it possible to increase ammunition limit from 5 turns to something longer, like for example 10 turns.
How do I also increase casualties caused by ranged units, especially for the artillery.

The increase the ammunition supply

Is it possible to increase ammunition limit from 5 turns to something longer, like for example 10 turns.

Change

#define FULL_EFFECT_SHOTS 10

in Macros.BSF, to

#define FULL_EFFECT_SHOTS 20

(Two shots are used per turn of shooting)

How do I also increase casualties caused by ranged units, especially for the artillery.

To increase the effect of all shooting, increase the value in

base_damage = 43;

in

FUNCTION CalculateShootingDamage(me, target, volley, test, print, reaction)

in

Shooting_Logic.BSF

The reason that artillery shooting is so erratic is that they use a skewed RNG for casualties - skewed towards the lower end of the range.

Code: Select all

      // Artillery more random than other types - but high damage hits less frequent than low damage hits
      if ((IsArtillery(me) == 1) || (IsArtilleryWagon(me) == 1))
				{
					skew_type = 2;
					minDam = base_damage / 2;
					maxDam = (base_damage * 3) - minDam;
				}
			else
				{
					skew_type = 1;
					minDam = base_damage / 2;
					maxDam = base_damage * 3;
					maxDam /= 2;
				}

You could change the artillery part of this to match the second part.

Thank you for the reply. I tired to work it out for myself but i couldn't work it out.
