Got it, thanks!

First one, doesnt scale with unit size

Is this ability applied via the unit or via individual models? For instance, if a routing unit of 80 has gotten stuck in the middle of my 60 cavalry models, are we dealing 2 damage * 5 max entities = 10 damage per second or up to 60 * 2 * 5 = ~600 damage per second?

Even with this mod enemy just ignores the back damage, it's still very annoying.
The trouble is that there are very few animations in this game, units kill each other with air, not with sinc animations, including the cav. In shogun 2 you could kill whole routing armys with just 2 units of general cavalry, here it's just not possible.

@HONK
Thats a little unfair to them, they do a ton of good work, this would be a messy and kinda strange solution to put into the game as a vanilla behaviour. The actual way would be making animations less jank, though I get thats hard too

@OHM
So, no, this mod isnt causing it you are correct taht it's vanilla behaviour but also Im not sure that it's an issue. IIRC (and thats with a grain of salt because my brain has holes), when units are routing they ignore any movement speed penalties but lose all their defensive stats, most of those are reduced to zero. I guess to simulate them scrambling away and trying to escape at any costs

I'd say that's a good tradeoff, and kinda outside the scope of this mod even if I didn't, might take a look at it when I get the time but it would probably just be a seperate mod and not included in this one

this is great, CA's developers apparently suck and can't do this. They should really just fire those schlubs and just hire modders cuz you guys do good work

Hi bud, any chance you can make the shattered/routing units have less vigour ie: exhausted? They suddenly become fresh when they rout, but are exhausted/tired during a fight prior to routing.

Units chasing them down get so exhausted and the routing unit remains fresh.

I'm not saying that's your mod doing it. It might even be vanilla, but I was just hoping it may be something you can address.

I think 6.2 broke the mod

Presumably not? From what I saw in the changelogs it shouldnt be effected and should still work
I currently have warhammer 3 not on my PC atm and so arent able to check it for awhile, if I get reports about it not working then I'll do what I gotta to fix it

Hey there - Awesome mod first of all, does it need any updates to work with 6.2?

Excellent, thank you! I was wondering if it would just make zombies/grave guard get horribly murdered. Beautiful mod.

I added an exclusion so it doesnt apply to undead or daemons (ty to the people that pointed it out).
It does unfortunately apply to constructs that are crumbling though, theres no way around that with the current tagging system in the files, so unofficially this accidentally debuffs constructs a bit cause it makes them die a little faster in melee.

I love this so much, finally infantry breaking from combat feels meaningful!

How does this interact with undead units Crumbling?

This mod makes my Reiksguard's sportscars plowing through Zombies. I love it. xD Melting any unit they touch.

So does my Artilery when they get flanked by cheeky AI.

So the main problem with that is that I wanted to make this sort of supplemental, I only really wanted it to take place/be needed as sort of the last resort where you're either stuck or normal damage isnt working very well, then this helps keep it going. You can use rpfm to edit it to taste, but I probably wont be creating a buffed version of this

Even better improvement if you multiply the damage and the max entity affected.

@Zo_Confuzled seems to be working fine

Does anyone know how this works with SFO?

@Lemonist
Re-read the Description

So this isnt modded unit compat? it just edits vanilla unit attributes?

I haven't played WH3 since Thrones. Brah, what the heck have they done LOL. Thank you for this mod. Completely kills any immersion without this. This is a must have mod now

Was playing a Throt campaign using skaven slaves and I think this mod made it ever so slightly harder lol. Being so easy to rout they were getting wrecked as they fled. I'm still gonna use it though because I don't think it's unfair at all. Routing units should be easier to kill.

<3

I just want say this is one of my favorite mods. Makes end of battles feel so much better, especially since I love cavalry and flying units

Thank you! Awesome mod. Really feeling the difference when chasing down units.

I dont think that would break anything, but fixed for if it does cause any issues

This mod gets an error in RPFM: "Invalid reference "chasedown_ability" in column "ability".", is this a problem?
We're having some desync issues in MP, just wanna rule out this mod being a problem.

yeah I think there is an ongoing bug right now where if the mod's name has capital letters in it the game will crash. Don't worry about it since the devs are working on the hotfix :D

Updated to latest version
(didnt actually change anything, the mod worked fine, but thisll get rid of the outdated alert)

update please :D

Does this still work perfectly?

Will do, thanks. Should I look for something in particular in the units display with that other version?

Try using the test one in the description that shows when it is or isnt active

I'm not sure if this is working since I don't see enemies dying when swarmed by cavalry, can anyone confirm?

I hate when the game just makes units "stop" randomly instead of chasing routing enemies... this has been resolved in WHII, but it is now representing here in WHIII for no reason. If this thing worked already in game there would not be need for mods to resolve it :\

@暗黑无敌暴龙王

If he's dueling, he's not routing. This only affects routing soldiers.

@Dragon32
The enemy has only a general and no other soldiers. My soldiers have surrounded the general. The general is dueling with one of the soldiers, while the surrounding troops have not inflicted any harm on him.

Ohhh thank you, I will try that. Kinda strange though, I wouldnt have though anything WOULD be overridden

FYI if you add a ! at the start of the edited table name then it works for SFO. I think your table name comes after the SFO edited table alphabetically, so the SFO table overwrites your mod. I got it working in SFO this way.

@暗黑无敌暴龙王
Is the enemy unit broken or shattered?

This mod isn't working; the enemy troops are surrounded but aren't taking damage.

Yeah it just doesn't work for some reason. I also tried the show attribute version and that didn't work either.

@maverick91141 I maybe could, but honestly I'm kinda against releasing a bunch of submods tweaking it to whatever needs. (Not morally against, I'm just lazy and don't want to publish too many mods)
If you'd like to do it yourself, you will have to use the modding tool rpfm, there's guides on how to generally set it up. Open the .pack file, chasedownhidden.pack, then in rpfm open db, special_abilities_phases_tables, chasedown.
Scroll a little to the right, and you'll see "Damage amount" and then "Max Damaged Entities"

You'll probably have to do a lot of tweaking to get it exactly what you want for you, god knows I had to play around with the numbers a lot and I wasnt even 100% set on the numbers I chose, but I had fiddled with it for like a week straight of just wiggling the numbers up and down and figured I'd publish then or I never would
Let me know if you have any other questions or need some help, or shoot me a friend request if you need some more exact clarification

@MJD How does it break? Does it just not apply? Try using the one where it shows the ability when active in the unit card to make sure that it's actually not working, and not just that the slower pace of SFO compared to vanilla makes it a bit harder to notice
Off the top of my head I don't THINK it'd break anything, but check that first

Could you release a more powerful version; or where would I go in the files if I wanted to increase the incrimental damage from 1 to, say, 5?

For some reason this doesn't work with SFO and I can't work out why. It works great in Vanilla. Any ideas?

Yes, but only in campaign (it doesn't effect anything, vanilla or modded, in custom battles)

Does this work for units added by mods and/or effect units added by mods when they're routing?

"Sometimes I feel like this is applying to demons/undead, but might just be me being paranoid"
-> patch update
I see...

I genuinely don't know why thatd be happening unless one of you doesn't have the mod updated or something, but I don't think it'd let you do that, all I did was add two lines to the part that gives limitations to it, to make it not applu to undead or daemons
I uploaded the old version of the mod down below
