Archery ranges?

[Ngugi]

I would mod the accuracy (for all relevant units), as range and damage shouldn't be what at end should differ signficantly (if the weapons are compairable), but instead the ability to actually intentionally hit a target even if at maximum efficient range while mortal shouldn't.

EDIT: Do you btw know what the range in the game is counted in? Is 300 the same as [ca] 300 years or meter?

So how should I mod the archery ranges in TATW? I'm not content with the current setup, because there is little difference between human rangers and elves who have at least hundreds of years of training.

basically what everything said here was that if you strive for reality, you shouldn't mess with the range of the bows.
you can, however, increase the lethality/accuracy of elven archers, nobody is saying a strong no to that. also, speed of reloading, if you can mod that.

the only difference between an elf with 3000 years worth of experience and a 16 yo boy, both using the same bow, would be the lethality, accuracy and speed of reloading. since elves were masters of archery and created bows with great skill, maybe you can increase the lethality some more. don't overbuff elves, or you might regret when playing against them.

MOS has a great way of dealing with elven bows and archers, you might want to take a look at that/those stats.

- reloading speed: can be improved but it's at most 2x faster than the original setup, and that's still slower than horse archers' shots (which are not fired in volley)

- accuracy: not too useful when shooting stationary targets; in DaC they also have area attributes so accuracy matters even less.

- Lethality: can be raised but if it's increased too much, the shields and armors of high-end enemy units would become effectively useless.
