Radious Fire By Rank mod (12.4.2010 - Updated with Radious_FBR_All)

[Radious]

Hello everyone, i just finished working on my old mod from ETW, where i managed to change fire drills as i liked for Line and Elite infantry. Now it should be fully compatible with NTW. Since NTW didnt had from basic FBR (no idea why, because it works perfect here) i edited it so most infantry can now use this drill.

Changes:

1. All Elite and Line infantry should now use Fire by Rank
2. Fire in Advance was removed - useless as it always was in ETW
3. Grenadiers, Light Infantry and Skirmishers stays as they are in vanilla.
4. For request i made another version where only Elite units using FBR, Line infantry is now vanilla
5. Added another version which just removes Fire and Advance (no FBR, its made for people who do not like from some reason FBR but think that FaA is stupid mainly in AI hands which hardly can form line properly for it before it gets killed)
6. Another version added, EliteV2 - FBR for Elite units and Grenadiers
7. Another version added FBR_ALL - Elite, Line and Grenadiers using FBR

Version Description:

Classic - Elite units and Line Infantry using FBR
Elite - Elite units using FBR
EliteV2 - Elite units and Grenadiers using FBR
ALL - Elite, Line and Grenadiers using FBR

The current download links are broken. If you have an alternative download link or have the mod saved on your pc please contact Modding Staff.


Important info: All my mods created until today are fully compatible together and no matter which version from them you will use. You can use them seperately, but for best gamming experience i recommend to use them all together. There may be some problems with other mods which modding same files. I hope you will enjoy them and they will bring you better times with NTW.

Oh I love you

Thank you so much Radious!!! You saved my day Keep working!

[po0tietang3366]

if you keep releasing things i need i cant continue to rep you

[GODzilla]

Let me forward a request: Could you change it so that only elite infantry and grenadiers use fire by rank? It just makes more sense to me, as these units are special and should have some special skills. Unless the normal line infantry.

And do you think it will be possible to add it as researchable technology in future versions of your mod?

[Dynamo11]

Radious you are a GODSEND!

Hi. Does it unable units to open fire while they're moving to form a line ? ( -> does units have to be placed exactly as a line to begin firing ? ). If yes, would it be possible to add some kind of button ( like the one used to switch fire and advance on ? Or even, replace this button so it would turn fire by rank on instead of fire and advance ? ).
ps: by the way, please forgive me, I know that I don't speak english very well ( i'm french ). I can speak better, but it would take me much more time to post ...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! i was thinking where that went, i was fed up of having to form a long line for all of my men to fire (or even fire and advance)

[Nordmann]

Great work Radious! You're on a roll it would seem.

Would it be possible to include a toggle function for FBR, using the old F&A button? There are times when I require ranked fire, and times when I do not.

Thanks again.

Thank you very much, Radious.

This is actually a good idea he makes.

>I think there should be a version of this mod that has only the Elites and Grenadier units using FBR. As Godzilla mentioned it gives those unit types something special over the normal line infantry besides just unit stats.

>Another version could be with all units getting FBR but as Maverick6 stated use the FAA button on the battle HUD activate it as needed.

Both of these I'd be willing to use in my campaigns and looking at posters I can see a conscensus forming.

Request done for you Sir. Check download links again, version with Elite units was added.

In campaign it should be there in technology tree too, The icon shows Fire in advance, but when you research it, you should have FBR. Maybe later with better tools it will be possible to change it completely.

Awesome, +rep.

How does this affect balance?

Thanks for telling me that, i updated both links with new version, but it may get full again

Radious you are a GODSEND!

Thank you, but i am still real normal man as all of you here

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! i was thinking where that went, i was fed up of having to form a long line for all of my men to fire (or even fire and advance)

No problem Sir, thats the reason why i made this mod, CA should made it optional like with Fire and Advance in vanilla game, but well, problem solved

Thanks again.

This was impossible in ETW (or i never find out how to do that) and i am afraid it wont be possible again. Maybe with updated modding tools from ETW, so far modding is verry limited and as you can see i am trying to get max from it

Thank you very much, Radious.
