Thanks, 120 archers shooting constantly for minutes barely do any damage unless they are top tier but somehow they managed to put a squad of Legolas in every single watchtower in the game that can turn heavily armored cataphracts to shreds in seconds.

@Agent Tower I've just downloaded Pack File Manager in the hopes of locating and editing the tower files because I am so sick of friendly fire but I also don't want to lose the damage which all the mods on here sacrifice for accuracy, could you tell me where in the millions of files I can find the ones I'm looking for?

Must have mod!

However, it crash on 1212AD fort battles right when your unit reaches the fort tower's range. No crashes though at settlement battles.

I looked into the stats on the mod after testing it ingame. The projectile strength on the strongest towers was reduced to 20 from 200, and the reload time to 10 from 15. And also the explosive effect was removed outright. So I guess that's why it felt like there was people stationed in those towers equipped with spitwads making desperate 'ptooey!' sounds at the enemy, lol.

They did manage to set siege equipment on fire though, which I guess was the main intent.

I tweaked the damage to 100 instead and will see how things go. I might tinker with the values in db/_kv_key_buildings_tables too.

If they can be made to be somewhat punishing on the approach but not so much a factor when fighting inside the city/town with a tweaked firing arc, it may be more fun. I like the idea of towers having some utility, but not being able to destroy units outright. But also not being basically ignored either, lmao. I appreciate the mod though, thanks.

How on earth do they shoot without anyone inside in the first place is what I've always wondered

Thank you, I was tired of seeing all my cavalry units die without having reached the enemy during a fort attack.

Gotta love it when a tower can wipe a whole squad of infantry or cav but 100 archers can't kill 10 models.

Still works. On my experience they cause much less damage than before on soldiers but have been able to set fire to a battering ram.

Anybody knows if this still works?

hahahaha this is exactly it... a gatling gun

Best mod description I have ever read.

outdated

From the pack: The towers fire twice as fast. They have more AP damage. They have only 10% of the normal damage. Incendiary properties almost removed. I think the modder loaded the opposite mod except for the 10% part.

In attila total war, arrow tower are almost like a machine gun or more precisely like a puckle gun, i see 2 arrows shooting at the same time in the same direction, hows that even possible?

Nice!! Those TOD's are just too unrealistic. Arrows come outta them like they are shot out of a cannon! And gunpowder hasn't even been invented yet!

is there a way to only weaken AI towers? 8) Thanks for this mod!

installed this mod, doesn't seem to be making any difference. The towers are still death towers :(

As IndigoGo said, useless mod.
Better using vanilla.

Looked promising but now they don't kill anything. I would rather have OP towers than towers that are literally useless.

FINALLY!!!! a mod that fixes this towers of death. Sometimes I would think that they probably have balistas inside coz they are so powerful. Sieges are won and lost by protecting this towers or destroying them first. But not anymore... Sieges would be so much fun and less focused on towers. LET THE RAM HIT THE WALL!!!

While i agree (if the towers in WH are anything to go by) that these are OP as shit... THESE ARE f***ING USELESS. Sorry to sound like a bitch but i think you over did it. After 20 minutes just sitting in front of a tower, less than no guys died. They wern't even armoured. At this point i take them out for the principal of lessening the enemies defences.

@ben would it be realistic if you'd won a citiy with equal number of soldiers? Should attack least 3 to 1, or with better army then the adversary.

It would be great if u could put your archers in towers and empower them a bit. It would be more realistic.

I just fought a 5k v 5k in Constantinople. Elite barbarians vs Elite romans
My causalties were 4800. Romans lost 1400.
I counted the roman kills since I was massacred. They killed around 1800.
3000 kills... are unaccounted for.
The towers are just standing there looking innocent. dead bodies all over. battle lasted 12 minutes.

Im nerfing these fuckers right now. Because this is ridiculous. Thanks for the mod.

Thankyou

came back to attilla after 400 hours at warhammer total war. surprised to see an assault on one side destroyed by wooden towers manned by loincloth wearing celts

This is perfect for me becuase I'm not that good at total war games

Hola Green. Been messing around with your pack a bit, as I've been loving the "non-nuclear-warhead" nature of your towers but found them so weakened as to be completely irrelevant. Great for offensive barbarians, but frustrating for defensive factions. Setting the damages to normal bow style + a bit (big ol' defensive bows not made for portability explains this to my immersion) had the effect of making towers actually do something, without eating heavily armored infantry for lunch.
Felt about right for both offense and defense.

Thanks for the heads up, your work is greatly appreciated.

I will be adjusting a few mods of mine since I am back to playing Attila more (warhammer doesn't have the same staying power for me), so look forward to balancing soon.

The reverse of this mod is the Gatling version (to use only when you want to play defensive) its bvery funny to see the thousand of Godlike arrows killing whole units

maybe you should increase a bit the dammage the tower in this mod... towers does 0 kills even to unit without armour, it's not very balanced yet

onagers ruin the towers before they can fire anyway :) and usually the wall too

Its true, they cant kill anything

Works fine for me. Lost roughly 15 archers in loose formation in ~10 minutes while firing on their town.

Thanks for letting me know. Will tweak it a bit :)

Just did a town siege battle and watched a tower shoot a tier one bow unit in tight formation in the back at close range for 2 min and cause literally 0 deaths, might have nerfed them a litttle too much.

Yep, should work (been personally playing the crap out of AoC).

does this work for Aoc as well?

Should be good to go.

So does it currently work?

I need this mod since my first battle. Thanks.

need updates?

Well now that Tower Nerf Mod is gone, "you're the man now dog!" :D

Need to be updated?

just read the description, does this mod also effect the wooden towers on the smaller villages? becuase i noticed that there are only pictures of stone towers so im curious about it, i really want a mod that nerfs ALL towers :)

I'm sorry for delayed responses across my mods. I will be updating as soon as I have some time to myself here around tuesday. I need to update to make sure everything is working across the board then I need to see if I need to add more for the DLC (once I buy it). Will have something out soon.

update

Need for updade?

Ok, thank you !
