Bonus in EDB

**Andrea69** · July 15, 2008, 03:58 AM

Hello

Is available a list of all possibile bonuses that can be assigned in the EDB, for example with Guilds or Temples?

Is it possible, for example, to assign the Swordsmith Guild a armour_bonus bonus of 1, like in RTW, or does it not exist any more?

Thank you for any help

Great

Thank you

PS: unfortunately the guide seems far from complete as far as EDB is concerned... :-(

It has all the bonuses listed - isn't that what you are looking for?

No, it lists only the bonuses currently in standard EDB, not all the POSSIBLE bonuses.

In fact I saw in various Mods some bonus that I did not find in standard EDB and I wonder if there is a list somewhere of what is really available for modders and what not.

For example, I really would like to clarify which bonus are available for armours and weapons upgrading as they are not looking to work as in RTW.

The armour_bonus seems not to work at all, while some other weapons upgrade bonus work different: just think about to weapons_missile and weapons_blade in RTW vs weapons_melee upgrade in M2TW.

It lists all the possible bonuses known, and even some that are used in RTW that may or may not work in M2. If you are suggesting that CA built other bonuses into the game but didnt use them, thats possible but no way to know.

Look at THIS thread.

All possible building bonuses / capabilities are listed there.

Cheers,

Thank you Dimitri

This is exactly what I was looking for.

As you can see there are many unused bonus in standard EDB.

Which is fire_risk, for example? I suspect it is completely forgotten by the game

And what about the many possible weapon upgrades? Which is the difference for example between weapon_missile_mechanical
and weapon_projectile?

You can see this in the Gunpowder Upgrade building. weapon_projectile simultaneously upgrades siege weapons and gunpowder units; not all projectiles as one would assume.

There are many things that are unknown. You'll have to try it out.

Here are some more links that might help you (originally posted by Lusted in alpaca's odds & ends thread):
