What I don't like in this mode is that the archers always shooting this way even if there is no any barrier in fornt of them. It's not good because in vanila version when they shoots by the direct fire the enemy gets more damage in comparison with shooting over a barrier. When archers shoot with an angle all the time they are not effective, most of damage goes to nowhere.

The problem in vanila version is that your own army does not equivalent to a barrier for archers.
The mod supposed to equate your own army to a barrier and archers always have to shoot by direct fire if there is no any barrier in front of them.

I wonder if mods like this work on new units in overhauls

Archers shooting angle works great, but there are a few subtle changes like arrow ranges and stuff. One mistake is that the lowest tier Sassanid archer unit had its damage accidentally boosted to 38 (from 20 I think). It makes them incredibly over powered, so careful if playing against them.

Thanks for work. Now archers are useful

Didnt even know there was friendly fire lmao

Is anyone aware of the fix for arrow animations? I read about users complaining that the arrows don't appear to fire and connect with the enemy.

hey little loyal or comrade maarten, Would you consider creating a version for 1212AD? This mod is great, since the shitty low trajectorys are really annoying (especially when firing at units mounted on walls). Me and I'm sure a lot of people would greatly appreciate it :)

Beware when using this mod with Fall of the Eagles, the lowest tier archer unit for the Sassanids has its missile damage bass boosted to 38 with this mod enabled. Not entirely sure if its the only unit affected but it seems to be.

still waiting on that on off option, looks weird when arrows do it all the time

RADIOUS?

hi l appreciate your work very much!Would you consider making a mod where the volleys are increased,so that there is no more idling between the shots?

Oh much appreciated! love your mod either way, thanks for replying

Party.Gif use longbow units if they dont show a clear change something is wrong but if your using it with 1212 its not gonna work anyway since it is not compatible

Does this mod still work? Im trying it with the 1212 mod but it doesn't seem to affect the arrow's trajectory too much

Is it compatible with 1212 AD?

I see. Long bows and history. So why did your remove the max elevation on most arrows? Does it work better that way?

@littleSheperd you know when the arrow icon turns red and the unit refuses to fire. Ive increased that, Longbows shoot in an angle that goes over everyone but javelins and normal archers dont because back in the day they didnt fire that way. Only longbows shoot in an upwards angle. And yes it is sort of unrealistic sometimes but thats because this is a game and i can only mod this to an extend.

I can only tell the AI to shoot 1 way not multiple ways for different situations. I know it sucks but it is what it is.

I am not sure how you can know that: "avoid shooting friendlies". How do I verify it? From what I see, the arrow trajectories don't go very high in this mod. It appears archers have now way of firing over the heads of their own troops. It is "realistic" but also unrealistic. My jav-equipped troops have stopped throwing without a clear line of sight which is a bit let down. Prove me wrong.

@Mail Mittens its still in, otherwise it wouldn't be realistic, im just making sure archers avoid shooting friendlies more than vanilla

Will units still be hit by friendly fire or is it removed completely?

@littleSheperd you could try to verify the game files

So where can I find a better launcher? I've been searching but the ones on the web only seem to work for Warhammer. Very nice mod. It solves some of the problems with archers in this game.

@littleSheperd yeah found that out aswell it happens when you try to play mods that have recently been updated while using the old launcher.

It does download but just hides in one of Steams' new folders instead of Data.

I try you mod with Age of Vikings and work very nice //////

@gdwitt https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ws5QeuFIBhKLdYW9K4XuZqk1cYuhr-Tq/view?usp=sharing

This looks promising but it won't download via steam subscription. Where else can I download it? Thank you, GDW

Hello works with medieval kingdoms?

thx

@Fältherren ok ;)

looks like shit

Good mod!

What does this mod do?

@Wolf yup thats the new system CA implemented for modding, quite confusing at times

@Kermit The Frog Ah thanks, found it in steamapps/workshop rather than my /data folder.

@Wolf Realistic_Archery_RBP

thanks

Bro, what is your Pack file name? I cannot see it in my data directory. Just want to check its downloading properly.

@Darrius Thorne no it only effects bows

Does it work for crossbowmen and javelin and other skirmishers? What about infantry that have a throwing weapon like most barbarian troops?

Don't suppose you could make an FOTE version of your mods

@a.clayton.keitt yes

<3

thank you!

save game compatible?

Ok ill try

Ok thanks now i know :)

@$huriK idk what the situation is, are you using a vanilla game have you modded it before. maybe you need to reinstall because there is 100% a difference from this to vanilla

how do i know its working? i tried using it and not using it and i see no difference D:

@Peacemen if you have realistic battle pack you dont need this mod, this is just the archery taken from realistic battle pack and made into a standalone mod.
