This mod will make cavalry's bow and arrow resistance very weak, resulting in significant casualties. How to solve this problem

Any clue how to make armor more effective against arrows? There's a mod that claims to do this called armor effectiveness and it doesn't work. I can run it with 0 other mods active and it does nothing. When I look in PFM it's editing armor missile divisors but when I mess with it, it seems to do nothing. Like, I can set the armor_missile_divisors to literally anything, I think it's set to 2 and 1 by default, and it does nothing. I can put it to 12 and 6 and the casualties I take from arrows on troops with decent armor are the exact same as when I'd not altered the values making them higher. It seems for the life of me that no matter what I do I cannot make armor more effective against arrows. I have arrow damage lowered and set to between 0.15 - 0.25, I'd like to have it set to a normal number, but until I can get armor to do something against arrows it's not really an option.

Usually, lower numbers tend to mean less effective and higher more effective, though some times it's the opposite like with spread increasing with higher number.

In kv rules it's mostly the former.

thanks for the answer, I use the short version too now :-) I editet the bullets to have more spread, less damage (but armour-piercing) and increased reload-time as these firearms took quite som time to prepare historically (and IS great for balancing ).

question: when I edit the piercing- and penetrating divisor in the kv rules-table, does higher numbers mean armour is more effective? I have tried to balance unit stats but it is hard and tedious work. som many vectors.

I might have left matchlocks untouched either because i wanted emphasize their late game power or because i forgot. Either way i'm thinking of revisiting these mods since i'm using short version rn which i did update for myself.

Can you see why it gives an error at the time of naval battle in this mod?

i don't own FOTS but my friend said it's not as good for FOTS compared to vanilla or rise of the samurai. I was going to remove fots changes but never got around to it.

Works well with FOTS as well?

I'm assuming the yellow army in the screenshots lost horribly.

Thank you!

Well its a bit annoying process but you Mark my mod first, lunch the game, exit, then mark the 10th anniversary mod and run the game.

How do I run this mod first? Thank you!
Orendiz  [author] 15 Jun, 2021 @ 3:08pm 
Most likely no for the gameplay addon. Try running this mod first then add 10th anniversary version

compatible with 10th anniversary version?
Orendiz  [author] 14 Jun, 2021 @ 12:33am 
It should work if you run the game with this mod first
greece.ct.ct 13 Jun, 2021 @ 7:31pm 
does this work with darthmod v5.0
