A question on catapults

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

Once I read a thread in this forum where someone explained what to do if you wanted to modify the efficiency and accuracy of the catapults when used against armies. I've tried to find that thread, I'm afraid, unsuccesfully. Could anyone refer me to that thread please? Or give me any help? Thanks.

Anyone?

I think it was in the IBFD 7 discussion thread but anyway... the file you need is the 'projectiles' file (descr_projectiles.txt? the exact name escaps me at the moment can give you more details tonight) and there is an entry accuracy vs troops and accuracy vs buildings for 'boulder' (the projectile of the onagers)

Thank you, man.

OK, I got the details:

relevant entry, change values in bold

Thanks for the info, Ramon. Just for the records, I needed this information not because I want to change any IBFD catapult stats, on the contray I'm not willing to do so, because I love the way it is. It's just that I want to implement them in other mod that I'm playing right now along with IBFD.
