Changing mortar range

Mortar range should never exceed cannon, especially those raised in towers. Research on 18th century artillery shows a "Royal" motar 16lb shell max range is 914 meters (1,000 yds), while a Coehorn 8.5 lb shell is 731 meters (800 yds). 9lb and 12lb cannon are 3,510 meters (3,839 yds)
and 3,725 meters (4,074 yds) respectively. Bottom Line: no mortar should have more than .33% of any cannon's max range. Can this be adjusted, or at least made a player selection option?

How bout no?

It's artillery it's supposed to shoot far
If it shoots at low range you might as well call it a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grenade launcher.

I am sure it can be done through modding.

Was there need for swearing sir?
Thornaman a player like yourself has the right to make a suggestion without it being mocked.

Appreciate the thought EH. I expect the other response is from the group that cares only for quick battle with masses that provide only a first person shooter variation. Although it is a FPS with many shooters. Misses the point entirely. Artillery in the 17-18th Centuries had relatively short ranges, particularly effective ranges. Changing the mortar range to reflect reality simply corrects a major design flaw. Artillery, especially the cannon and howitzers remain unaffected. Too bad for the more serious players inteterested in strategy and tacticls beyond madly building and rushing to combat. Obviously we are the smaller spending demographic. On the other hand, I am perfectly satisfied to simply have a range option, say standard and short mortar ranges.

Hello thornaman. I agree with you as a military historian I enjoy the strategy and tactics. I'll make a suggestion to the devs and see what they think.

Appreciate your interest and effort. I have received a developer reply to an earlier suggestion on this. Essentially it was, "thankyou for your interest, we will look into it sometime in the future".
Military historian? Very interesting. Should you want to discuss off-line let me know here and I will send my email.
