v2.01:

- Ballista shot less accurate
- catapult and tribouchet not recrutable in city (ballista only very few)
- all gun units less range, more damage, no line firing (cause it was buggy)
- Titles, Civil War, Princesses, Council v1.7b (patched some CTD)
- all crossbow units have the same fireing distance (more realistic)

gun units work much better now, try it out in custom battle

Install:

unpack all in the data folder:

What is your explanation that all Crossbowarms fire the same distance is realistic?:hmmm:

**Hanno the Navigator** · January 22, 2007, 08:50 AM

I'd guess the fact that a crossbow's firing distance is a consequence of the crossbow's design, which can be assumed to be fairly identical for the game's scope.

Whereas a bow's range is a consequence of the design of the weapon and the strength of the archer. A peasant would only achieve meager results, whereas a trained longbowman (the guys with one fat and one slim arm...) would be able to max the weapon's potential.

So all kingdoms bought them by the same shop eh? so they had all the same crossbows and projectile that explains much.

For the purpose of the game, yes that's the way it is, this is not complete realism where we have the time to research every specific kind of crossbow that the various factions had.

If u need information about clear medieval weapondata and specifications u can ask people who got time or know this or instead declear changes for selfminded. this isnt real hard.

**Cymera** · January 22, 2007, 03:23 PM

I never said it was hard, but it can be time consuming. This project does not have to be very accurate, it can become so if Ramm decides so.

Petolemeus, these guys mod in their spare time. They don't get paid to do it. If they decide something for their mod then it's their decision. No need to criticise them. If you can do a better job that them then go ahead and make your own mod. If you can't, a simple thanks will go a long way for them to continue trying.

Is this file hosted anywhere else? I have used up my Rapidshare allotment downloading the main mod........

NM, I was able to get back on after waiting for a while.

Thanks for the patch!

whos is criticiseing dude? do u think im dump or something telling me such things? what u think u are? post your comments somewhere else plz!

**Cymera** · January 23, 2007, 03:49 PM

Y would he? He is completely right, u came off as demeaning toward the project, implying that it was not done properly, despite your intentions. He was far more kind and gentle then i was about to be, keep that in mind. He thinks he is someone who understands modders, and he is 100% right, have patience and suggestions, thats all plz. I have lost all patience for this, y don't we drop it now?

about crossbows, some had fire distance as french archers. now all have a realistic distance, the difrence between the crossbows are their damage. so good crossbowmen make a lot more damage than peasants crossbows.

crossbows were much better than archers, cause they had nearly the same fire distance which is nonsense. surly I could have given some crossbow unit more fire range, but for these long distances little changes are not visible in battle. Its also very important if fireing down or up hill. so fireing down hill your range is largly icreased.

gunmen make a lot of damge but reload slow and dont fire very far. only musketers can nearly fire as far as crossbows. so they are perfect against infantry but very poor against cavalry as they should.
