change log

CloseCombat ATTILA v01 (Update 18.02.2015) infantry and ship speed decrease; fatigue system tuning; morale system tuning (when unit losing of 20-50% - unit retreats, then it can come back in battle); missile damage decreased; shield defens/armour value +3; armour armour value +5; kill rate decrease (the duration of the battle 20X20 is 10-15min) CloseCombat ATTILA v04 (Update 25.02.2015) globally charge bonus reduced by 20% charge duration reduced to 10 sec parameters of shape of horse changed cavalry be more careful artillery marksmanship bonus decreased for weak weapon damage increased (generally used by ranged infantry) dagger 5/1 to 10/4 sax 10/1 to 15/4 lance 3/7 to 3/10 (here is another story) CloseCombat ATTILA v05 (Update 27.02.2015) modified for compatibility with mod_tower_reload_time_increase_CC_Submod; i find that unreasonable some value was changed (perhaps accidentally), now returned to the original value (perhaps AI behavior not change, in any case would not be worse.) CloseCombat Attila v06 (Update 03.03.2015) fatigue system further tuning; fatigue penalty from fresh to exhausted takes about 5 min; fatigue recovering from exhausted to fresh about 1-2 min CloseCombat ATTILA v08 (Update 13.03.2015)Projectiles further tuning. I find that damage of bow heavy shot = damage of bow normal shot (i mean real damage), wherein AI always uses 'heavy' shot, which is slower than 'normal'. Therefore made the following changes: heavy shot as is, damage for normal and flaming shot decreased for all types of bows + for all types of bows (except long bow and crossbow) base reload time increased about 25% For sling: Effective range increased to 150m and 200m. Damage =50 as vanilla, but in reality, the risk is low for armored units. At a short distance of 50-80 m, they are still dangerous. CloseCombat ATTILA v09 (Update 28.03.2015) adapted to the latest patch CloseCombat ATTILA v10 (Update 30.07.2015) adapted to the latest patch CloseCombat ATTILA v11 (Update 26.09.2015)adapted to the latest DLC/patch

• During the siege, escalation lvl 2 comes later and brings less destruction.

Installation / Uninstall

UnZip and drop the pack file into your ...\Total War Attila\data\... directory.
Mod CloseCombat Atilla.pack in 'MOVIE' format.
MOVIE format packs does not need to be enabled and as such won't be able to be controlled by mod manager and will always activate.
To deinstall just remove/delete the pack file.

[Gorhaax]

Not sure why but when I unzipped the file into the data folder It doesn't seem to show up in the Attilla Mod Manager

EDIT: nvm, I forgot to read the below part about the movie pack. My bad.

[agnes69]

Great! Awaiting your mod by CAI.

[billydilly]

@Gorhaax

It is in MOVIE format. It starts automatically - no need to activate.

Hey Lutnik and All

Is it just these 4 lines underneath in kvrules I need to edit to make kill moves happen more often.


Vanilla table stats
melee_formed_vs_formed_matched_combat_percentage ...... 5
melee_formed_vs_free_matched_combat_percentage ....... 10
melee_secondary_attack_probability ...... 1
melee_matched_combat_percentage ...... 40

Thanks any help would be appreciated.

[SEACOW]

Does this mod decrease the missile damage from towers as well? It seems like if fights during sieges take longer, then tower damage would need to be lowered as well to keep things balanced. Thanks for porting your mod to Attila!

Hi, GPM26,
these parameters affect the frequency of attacks leading to kill /imho/:


melee_attack_interval
melee_hit_chance_base
melee_hit_chance_max
melee_hit_chance_min
melee_on_damage_effect_knockback_chance
melee_on_damage_effect_knockdown_chance
(if I understand right your question)

Not yet, at the moment is i have not enough game experience.

Well, towers basically one hit one kill even the most heavily armoured units while shooting six or seven arrows at once, which means that a unit of Legio Comitatenses dies within 1 to 2 minutes.

Hey Lutnik

Thanks for getting back to me. What I am trying to do is remove the fall down/collapse kill animation or at least its frequency so that most kills would end in a combat finisher. I changed seconday attack from 1 to 0 but that only seems to prolong the vanilla battle which is actually a good thing. Anyway if you know of a way to stop the unit collapse like the no heart attacks mod tried to do in Rome 2 it would be a great secondary option to go with your Mod.

Thanks again

I would like to know as well. As I may use it for a multiplayer campaign tonight!

Hi! I installed the movie pack in the Attila data folder as told, then I played a custom battle and the mod didn't seem to work, as the "machine gun" killing rate was still there... I had no other mod working, just close combat. Somebody knows what can it be? Thanks in advance.

Damn, that would be a shame. Can anyone confirm?
