APE: TI Combat Changes

[l33tl4m3r]

After playing N:TW and being so used to the combat system in APE: TI I decided to make some changes -- as I get more familiar I will be making more changes to bring to combat system of N:TW more in line with classic APE: TI.

APE: TI Combat Changes for N:TW

This mod is currently a movie pack so you can drop it right into your data folder.

Partial Changelog;
Mass Fire should be working -- let me know if you do not see it in campaign battles!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Ranges for artillery increased and based on weight.
Ranges for infantry increased based on projectile type.
Reload time based on weight of projectile for artillery units.
Reload time based on type of projectile for infantry units.
Calibration areas for mortars and artillery tightened; mortars more than artillery.
Several smaller things to be added as I build the list.
Tracers reduced.
Misfires added -- 6% for flintlocks, 12% for matchlocks (due to this mostly being taken into account during rain,) and 3% for percussion caps.
All cavalry can dismount, including generals.
APE: TI skirmish/square formation -- all infantry can skirmish until square formation is researched.

Next on the list;
Fatique
Morale
Movement
Blood?
Removal of FAA?

--

Thanks to everyone in the modding community for all the hard work on a lot of these discoveries!

Rough draft for a BETA; let me know if you have questions or suggestions!

Great that you started to add your APE:TI flavour to NTW! Instant download and try! +rep

The "musket_light_infantry_flintlock" projectile range should be 110 instead of 100?

Well done old bean, glad you decided to add your vast knowledge and experience to the Napoleon game!+ rep

Removal of Free For All is that? Or did you mean Fire and Advance?

Corrected! Yes, I meant Fire and Advance.

[agent 47]

I know its a beta but you have you really got to remove fire and advance before i can even test this, fire and advance is such a game breaker if you ask me.

EDIT - doesnt matter, im pretty sure radious has a standlone FAA removal mod, will be get testing straight away.

[Choki]

Good news!This is like the other mods, all make the same, this modd the IA? And Blood Produce a kaind of lag in my pc.

[husserlTW]

I was wondering when you should be appeared.. +rep!

[Ballacraine]

A quick request here.

Would you be able to disable the time limits at least as an option in your mod, please?

I hate playing against deadlines like you are forced to in NTW.

Thanks,

Balla.

do you mean in the campaigns? only Italy and Egypt have time limits. you can play both Euro campaigns forever.

[Shabby_Ronin]

Add luntiks changes please, and some of the other things people have added, especially dogmeat's tyrant mod stuff...he seems to have been kidnapped.

Thanks for that info, Gord.

From the answers I had got earlier, it seemed that they all had.

[Ballacraine]

Here is an idea. I am not sure if it would be viable though.

After a battle the victor captures & uses the enemy artillery?

Do-able?

Balla.

[Soul Firez]

Not sure that is possible but it would be nice and historical expensive pieces of equipment them cannons to leave to rust on the battle field lol wish they had done it for vanuillia i mean you can capture ships why not cannons lol

[l33tl4m3r]

I don't know of any way to capture field guns.

Here's a quick update -- mass fire!

Misfires added back in as well.

First post updated!
