Specialized Combat - Discussion
In this mod I have tried to enhance units special traits, making the battle flow more dependant on tactical advantages, and probably resulting in slightly faster battle pace.

With this mod...
• Reckless cavalry frontal charges will stop sending spearmen flying. Charges from the rear will give them even more painful experience though.
• Firearms will stop being crossbows with better armor piercing. They will sweep away enemy squads with one volley. It will take much longer time to reload though.
• That one crippled dwarf on the edge of the map, lone survivor of his squad, will not regain his will to fight if their leader is long dead.
• Anti-large units will hit cavalry and large beasts harder. They will go easier on infantry though. Anti-infantry units will be more anti-infantry too.
• Melee attack and defence ratio will have a little more influence on hit chance.
• On siege battles it will take more time to climb walls using miracle-spawn ladders, so you will want to use some siege vehicles. Fort towers will hit harder, but will not reach that far.

That mod was created to change the things I have found confusing, hopefully it can be usefull for someone else too.
Technical details: In table '_kv_rules' value 'bracing_calibration_ranks' has been changed from '7' to '6', 'bracing_calibration_ranks_multiplier', 'bracing_charge_reflector_bonus' and 'bracing_max_multiplier_clamp' has been doubled, 'bracing_attack_angle' has been changed from '80' to '100'. In table '_kv_rules' value 'collision_damage_normaliser' has been changed from '0.7' to '1', 'collision_damage_modifier' has been halved, 'collision_damage_maximum' has been doubled, 'collision_damage_default' has been halved. In table '_kv_rules' value 'refusal_chance_vs_charge_reflectors' has been changed from '0' to '0.3'. In table 'projectiles' non-spell non-tower musket non-artillery_flammable 'damage', 'ap_damage', 'base_reload_time' has been tripled. In table 'land_units' non-spell non-tower musket 'primary_ammo' has been halved. In table '_kv_rules' value 'missile_ignore_own_unit_for_friendly_fire' has been changed from '1' to '0', 'projectile_friendly_fire_man_radius_coefficient' and 'projectile_friendly_fire_man_height_coefficient' has been changed to '1'.
