Archer XP

[verax]

When a unit gains experience, it's attack value goes up in SS. For most unit's that's fine. But with archers, thier melee attack value increases, not thier ranged. Is there any way to change this? I would like them to get better in either defense or ranged combat. I've got veteran archers who never engage in melee combat, but they are getting better in it. It seems a bit strange.

thanks,

Accuracy value does increase.

I believe that unit experience is applied only to unit melee stat..it was discussed before, and yeah it's pretty dumb when it comes to ranged units, but the matter is hardcoded!

Really? Hmmm..didn't know that.

Thanks for the responses.

In Vanilla though, didn't defense go up, not attack rating?

The effects of experience are hardcoded, so whatever happens in SS happens in vanilla

Fair enough. Thanks

Testing seems to indicate some improvement but its hard to pin down.

Regarding the comment about defense increasing, yes, in earlier versions of vanilla defense increased along with attack. I think it was the 1.3 patch that excluded the defense boost.
