Hey would this work with radious ? Guessing not as it adds missiles to certain units. But you never know 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks

Hi all, please see new note in description. I am no longer modding, please feel free to take my content and do with as you please. It is very likely some aspects of the mod are broken as I have not updated in a long time. Sorry if that's the case, I may return to update one day, but no promises (very busy with life and family). Thanks for all the feedback, glad to see a lot of people enjoying my humble attempt at a mod :)

Nice mod.
Can I borrow the values for my person mod and credit you?

Why do archers have 29 missile damage? Basically 1 shot 1 kill. Is that intentional or because of other mods such as The Shieldwall?

i havnt got any other mod but cant seem to find the volley shot button ? could this be that the mod isnt working ? thanks

hey how do i use the volley shot ?

Hello George! Great mod! Do you mind telling me how did you manage to add the JAVELINS CAUSE KNOCK-BACK? I've started modding too and I would love to also have this feature

@TheGreatFerret You can download Pack File Manager and edit the mod file with that program. It's essentially just a spreadsheet editor. There are tutorials online showing how to use it. That said, I am in the process of updating the mod and removing most of the nerf to fire arrows, as I have re-evaluated this topic, so stay tuned!

Hi, is there a way for me to manually remove parts of the mod? I really want to install this but I would like to know how to remove the fire arrow nerf.

The problem with the knockback is that it seems to be pretty big, even on the lowest setting, and just doesn't feel realistic for arrow fire. I feel the slowdown effect is a much better effect in this case.

possible to put a little knockback on arrow volleys?
i would think if you got an arrow in your shoulder or other, you would stagger a bit.
other than that happy with this mod :) good job

Does this work with shieldwall overhaul

Apologies to all who have asked questions to which I have not replied. I'm glad that many have found this mod useful, I originally made this mode for myself and figured that others might enjoy it so I uploaded it, but I cannot guarantee regular updates/support. Hopefully soon I'll get around to updating and tweaking the mod, but I honestly haven't touch ToB in a long time.

That said, if anyone would like to take what I have done and build on it you are more than welcome! I have made several changes to missile stats, but the main feature is the change in trajectory which is done (for anyone who is interested) simply by altering the "Muzzle Velocity" value of each shot type. Simply put, lower velocity = higher trajectory and vice versa. You just need to tweak things until it feels/looks right. Too low a velocity causes reduced range and can cause weird behaviours, like units not shooting properly.

Any further questions, please ask and I will try to respond. Cheers!

quick question, does this mod still work? i'm interested in it but don't want to ruin my game or something.

Does this work with Radious?

Except having a firing arc isn't actually realistic because archers historically shot forward not upwards.

1. Could you make a pure arcing shot (increased angle) mod without any other changes(for example: remain incendiary shots ability)?
2. Maybe also add "increased angle" as a new ability with a button for players to choose whether and when to use this high angle firing mode during their battles? (Like, enemies are very close to you, your arrow units would use low angle as default, but now I wanna force them to use high angle, so the arrows can have more opportunity to avoid enemies' shields protection, so that I can kill more.)

sry for caps wasn't intended.

ABSOLUTELY bRILLIANT MY GUY!

I like that you nerfed the fire arrows from an anti-personnel viewpoint.... as far as the debate goes on their actual use though, there are multiple sources of historic data detailing how incendiary weapons have been used throughout ancient and medieval history. The siege of Tel Lachish in 709 BC has fire arrows involved and the Romans adopted their use later using loose bows and iron boxes filled with oil, not to mention lubricating javelins with flammable adhesives etc.. Anyway thanks for the mod, I've enjoyed it so far

Can you make a small mod that only affects the ability to make them fire in an arc

Love the Mod. Some of the mods coming out with this release are pretty awesome.

@Hupadgh-Shagg. If you are refering to Magnar's refill mod, it should work fine with that, as that mod does not edit projectile tables. As for mods that change the reload speed, they will most likely be incompatible as they would be editing the same tables. If a mod only edited the individual unit's reload skill, then it would work with this mod, as this mod does not touch units. Hope that makes sense! Cheers

Would the missile reload mod have any problems running alongside this?

a nice visual addition.. /toast

thanks for your work, its really good

Finally got the mod manager to let me update! I have made a few changes, check the change log for details. Please let me know how you find the changes and if you have any suggestions!

@Praetor As in increase the arc even higher? I will experiment with this, but I think there is a limit to how high they can go using my current method. What I have done is reduce the "muzzle_velocity" of the arrows, which causes the archers to aim higher to compensate for this. The problem is that if I reduce the velocity too much, the max range decreases. It is possible to set a static firing arc, however, this is very unrealistic as they will follow this arc even when the enemy is 20m away, which just looks silly. But, I will play around and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the input!

Nice addition to the game. Have you considerd to make the arrows arc through the air? Atleast for the longbows?

Daddy like

@Robin. Awesome, let me know how it goes and if you have any suggestions. Cheers

Sounds interesting. I am going to use this with the Crucible of Kings mod. In any case, thanks for your work.
