DEI - Better Spotting Range

Description
Hello Everyone

This is a simple mod for Divide et Impera, and by the way congratulations to the DEI team to make such amazing mod.

But there are some thing i don't like, one of those is the spotting range, so this mod serves the intent to increse the spotting range a little bit, now you can most probably see the enemy line at the distance and with this prepare your troops for battle.

Another thing that made me to do this mod is because when the Ai is attaking you, they will not advance until they see you, this is very frustating becase most of the time you have inferior mumber of troops and with so you posicionate them on a better spot to defend the position, but they will not come, so you have to move the troops forward or sending a unit to bring them to you, with this mod, since the spotting range is significantly incresed, the enemy will most likely advance because they now see you.

The spotting range will variate from unit to unit, since some of the units are better trained and with it can spot troops at a larger distances than others.

The spotting range of this mod is between the DEI version and the Vanilla Version.

I made the mod for myself, but i thought, why not share it with everyone. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Best regards!! :)

Is this compatible with the new version of DEI (version 1.2.7)?

@lolaus i also want to know i love Dei but their idea of spotting range is insane and not in a good way

did the new DEI update 1.2.5 fix their spotting range, or do I still need to use this if it even works after their latest update ??

Agreed, a moderate submod in the goldilocks zone would be nice and easy to make.

I like what you've done here, and I agree DeI (for how awesome the mod is all round) went a bit overboard with the spotting. I think though you have made it a touch too far and have taken away the need for doing any scouting to determine the deployment and movement of an opposing army. Is it possible you could make a variant that increases the viewing distance by 50% of what you've done here?

Otherwise nice mod and effort still much appreciated! ;)

Well done!

I for one prefer the version DEI implemented. It makes for a way more interesting battle since you actually have to scout the area. It makes for a really entertaining first phase in the battle.
