    Default The Hedge Knights Thoughts On Game Mechanics and Multiplayer *warning lots of stats*

    What these avatar skillz mean

    avatar_skill_ammo_quantity_1 20 mod_ammo_quantity
    avatar_skill_armour_1 2 mod_armour
    avatar_skill_armour_2 4 mod_armour
    Seems well worth it considering this affects both melee and ranged assaults

    avatar_skill_armour_piercing_arrows_1 1 enable_ability_armour_piercing_arrows
    avatar_skill_army_morale_1 1 mod_avatar_global_morale_effect
    avatar_skill_army_morale_2 2 mod_avatar_global_morale_effect
    Better than any retainer.

    avatar_skill_aura_radius_1 10 mod_avatar_aura_radius
    avatar_skill_aura_radius_2 20 mod_avatar_aura_radius
    avatar_skill_aura_radius_3 30 mod_avatar_aura_radius
    Not a huge increase considering the default is 55

    avatar_skill_banzai_1 1 enable_ability_banzai
    avatar_skill_bodyguard_unit_size_1 1.2 enable_avatar_increased_bodyguard_unit
    avatar_skill_bow_damage_1 1.1 mod_missile_damage
    avatar_skill_bow_damage_2 1.2 mod_missile_damage
    avatar_skill_bow_damage_3 1.3 mod_missile_damage
    Utterly useless as the damage is only 0.33 to being with, still less than half a matchlock unit

    avatar_skill_charge_1 10 mod_charge_bonus
    avatar_skill_charge_2 20 mod_charge_bonus
    Nice bonus

    avatar_skill_enable_bow_1 1 enable_avatar_bow
    Doesnt mention it also stops your custom look appearing

    avatar_skill_fatigue_resistance_aura_1 -0.1 mod_stamina_in_radius
    avatar_skill_fatigue_resistance_aura_2 -0.2 mod_stamina_in_radius
    avatar_skill_fatigue_resistance_aura_3 -0.3 mod_stamina_in_radius
    See the moral effects, more usefult han you might think.

    avatar_skill_fire_arrows_1 1 enable_ability_fire_arrows
    avatar_skill_hitpoint_1 2 mod_hp
    This isnt hp, its projectile resistance, and its awesome (but not in melee)

    avatar_skill_inspire_1 1 enable_ability_inspire
    avatar_skill_inspire_2 1 enable_ability_inspire
    avatar_skill_inspire_2 0.8 mod_cooldown_inspire
    This is about a 5 second decrese, not worth it im for lv2, massivly worth it for lv1.

    avatar_skill_marksmanship_1 15 mod_marksmanship
    avatar_skill_marksmanship_2 30 mod_marksmanship
    avatar_skill_marksmanship_3 45 mod_marksmanship
    If you have a bow these are good, i think other bow buffs are better though.

    avatar_skill_melee_attack_1 4 mod_melee_attack
    avatar_skill_melee_attack_2 8 mod_melee_attack
    avatar_skill_melee_attack_3 12 mod_melee_attack
    avatar_skill_melee_defence_1 4 mod_melee_defence
    avatar_skill_melee_defence_2 8 mod_melee_defence
    avatar_skill_melee_defence_3 12 mod_melee_defence
    Big bonus' even at low levels, i would go defence then attack. Its a gen not a yari cav unit.

    avatar_skill_morale_1 1 mod_unit_morale
    avatar_skill_morale_2 2 mod_unit_morale
    avatar_skill_morale_3 3 mod_unit_morale
    Not sure here if its worth it, definitelly not one for use with a bow though.

    avatar_skill_no_spear_penalty_1 1 mod_melee_penalty_vs_spears
    avatar_skill_rally_1 0.94 mod_cooldown_rally
    avatar_skill_rally_2 0.88 mod_cooldown_rally
    avatar_skill_rally_3 0.82 mod_cooldown_rally
    Not very large a time difference

    avatar_skill_range_1 25 mod_missile_range
    avatar_skill_range_2 50 mod_missile_range
    If i had a bow i would take this over accuracy

    avatar_skill_reload_speed_1 30 mod_reload_speed
    avatar_skill_reload_speed_2 60 mod_reload_speed
    Once again over accuracy

    avatar_skill_scare_enemies_1 -1 enable_ability_scare_enemies
    avatar_skill_scare_enemies_2 -2 enable_ability_scare_enemies
    Ability may be bugged

    avatar_skill_snipe_1 1 enable_ability_snipe4
    Pretty worthless, it doesnt have the volume of fire to be effective

    avatar_skill_speed_1 1.05 mod_unit_speed
    avatar_skill_speed_2 1.1 mod_unit_speed
    avatar_skill_speed_3 1.15 mod_unit_speed
    avatar_skill_speed_4 1.2 mod_unit_speed
    for four skillpoints, its not great

    avatar_skill_stamina_1 0.85 mod_stamina
    avatar_skill_stamina_2 0.7 mod_stamina
    avatar_skill_stamina_3 0.55 mod_stamina
    Very useful considering the moral implications.

    avatar_skill_stand_and_fight_1 1 enable_ability_stand_and_fight
    avatar_skill_whistling_arrows_1 1 enable_ability_whistling_arrows


    Moral

    Note moral is far more dynamic than the game would have it appear, dont be fooled.

    army_destruction_alliance_strength_ratio_mp 0.18
    Balance bar ratio, when reached you get a huge moral shock
    army_destruction_enemy_strength_ratio_mp 3.2

    ume_concerned_army_destruction -20
    What you get for that optop of everything else


    artillery_near_miss_distance_squared 144
    No idea why this is squared Anyhow seems to lead to this

    ume_concerned_attacked_by_artillery -1
    (with 0 casualties)

    ume_concerned_attacked_by_projectile -2
    This really shows why firing some archers in can make people rout, fast

    ume_concerned_damaged_by_artillery -4
    Pretty damn high if you ask me, this is why arty is dangerous, couple this with whats below and people will run very fast indeed

    was_attacked_in_flank -3
    was_attacked_in_front 0
    was_attacked_in_rear -6
    Why lapping rounds always good, should be noted that however blobby a unit looks the read is always a set point 180 degrees from the general direction of movement.

    fighting_cavalry -4
    This + a single cannon ball can give a -8 bonus???


    blood_bonus_12 7
    blood_bonus_5 2
    blood_bonus_7 4
    These dont seem to work at all.

    broken_finish_base_timeout 300
    cavalry_effect_range 20

    charge_bonus 5
    Charging gets you moral, its good to counterattack.

    charge_timeout 80
    Not sure what the unit here is, it isnt seconds though

    defensive_fort 6


    enemy_effect_range 80
    For flanks, front etc


    extended_casualties_penalty_10 -2
    extended_casualties_penalty_15 -3
    extended_casualties_penalty_33 -5
    extended_casualties_penalty_50 -8
    extended_casualties_penalty_80 -15
    These only apply once a unit has had a break from combat

    While in combat

    recent_casualties_shock_threshold 20
    Guessing seconds
    recent_casualties_penalty_10 -2
    recent_casualties_penalty_15 -4
    recent_casualties_penalty_33 -7
    recent_casualties_penalty_50 -15
    recent_casualties_penalty_6 -1

    After combat but no major breaks
    total_casualties_penalty_20 -2
    total_casualties_penalty_40 -4
    total_casualties_penalty_60 -6
    total_casualties_penalty_80 -30
    total_casualties_penalty_90 -30
    As you can see very nasty. This is one reaosn why heroes and monks are so tough, they just dont reach these higher number (because they are all dead) so dont suffer the negative effects. Ashigaru do so route with many more men.


    warcry_effect_range 225
    fear_effect_range 40
    Not so small

    general_aura_radius 75
    Ingame meters im guessing.

    winning_combat 2
    winning_combat_significantly 3
    winning_combat_slightly 1
    losing_combat -2
    losing_combat_significantly -4
    These five interest me as one seems to lead to the other, eg winning combat is not just +2 for your guys, its =2 for the enemy too.

    neighbour_effect_range 160
    open_flanks_effect_range 200
    Ie have a unit within this distance to avoid moral penalties.

    routing_unit_effect_distance_flank 100
    routing_unit_effect_distance_front 75
    Part of the reaon for chain routs. Interestingly if you seperate your battle line units can keep the secure flanks but not suffer the allies routing debuff. This has obvious disadvantages though.

    ume_concerned_flanks_exposed_multiple -2
    ume_concerned_flanks_exposed_single -1
    Not too high in the grand scheme of things buttt

    ume_encouraged_flanks_secure 4
    Thats handy.

    surprise_timeout 200
    Presuming shock due to ambush etc

    ume_concerned_general_dead_mp -1
    ume_concerned_general_died_recently_mp -2

    These stack so its -3 for recent deaths, does rather scream though, if your general dies camp for a while

    ume_concerned_horses_frightened -4
    ume_concerned_night_battle_unprepared -1
    Not applicable, elephants dont live in japan. Night battles have the same affect on both sides mp.

    Dont work

    ume_encouraged_inspired 6
    Why more people dont use inspire is beyond me, its awesome.

    ume_encouraged_on_the_hill 4
    Camping pays off but not as much as charging.

    waver_base_timeout 36
    Eg if they are wavering hit them hard and fast within 36 seconds

    ums_broken_threshold_lower -30
    ums_broken_threshold_upper -2
    ums_wavering_threshold_lower -4
    ums_wavering_threshold_upper 5
    ums_shaken_threshold_lower 2
    ums_shaken_threshold_upper 8
    ums_steady_threshold_lower 6
    ums_steady_threshold_upper 13
    ums_confident_threshold_lower 11
    ums_confident_threshold_upper 27
    ums_eager_threshold_lower 24
    ums_eager_threshold_upper 41
    ums_impetuous_threshold_lower 36

    What the values have to be between to get the various stats, moral seems to have more of an affect on how fast things change than being an arbitary number.


    Fatigue

    I presume all values are per action per game time unit (which i dont think is seconds).
    charging 15
    Very short time period, but adds up, if you feel like doing some micro its probably better to run entill you are very close then charge, this will minimise exhaustion and maximise the time you get the bonus charge moral.
    running 6
    running_artillery_horse 6
    running_cavalry 2
    running_cavalry_light 1
    For cav particularly, running is far better.

    walking 0
    And walkings even better, alt click is best clearly.

    idle -8
    idle_in_building -10
    idle_rain -4
    idle_snow -2
    So standing still infact recovers units faster than running depletes them .

    ready 2
    Im presuming this braced for chage, in spear wall, whatever.

    combat 8
    So once your in combat your men get tired pretty fast, best to keep it short and sharp.

    climbing_walls 15
    This is why when you attack a castle you should use the short wall, break, short wall stratergy and not go straight for the keep.

    fatigue_resistant_delta -1
    A bool in unit stats land, some units get this bonus, some dont. I think it applies to everything (even walking).

    reloading 3
    reloading_artillery 10
    shooting 6
    Artillery being tired doesnt really matter, but this is yet another reason why archers aint so good in melee. They get tired before they get there...

    Buttt

    under_fire_artillery 6
    under_fire_small_arms 5
    So do the enemy, albiet more slowly.

    tight_formation 6
    Whaa? Not sure, pike will perhaps, dont think it globably applies to all tight formation units but it may do. Testing is perhaps needed.

    working 20
    I think this is naval, repairing ship etc, dont know.

    gradient_shallow 7
    gradient_shallow_movement_multiplier 100
    gradient_steep 15
    gradient_steep_movement_multiplier 150
    gradient_very_steep 25
    gradient_very_steep_movement_multiplier 200
    Base rates for climbing hills.

    threshold_fresh 0
    threshold_active 1800
    threshold_winded 3600
    threshold_tired 7200
    threshold_very_tired 10800
    threshold_exhausted 21600
    threshold_max 28800
    What each level actually means.



    What buildings actually do

    archery_dojo_ammo_replenish_rate_local_modifier 0.07
    archery_dojo_reload_skill_global_modifier 20
    I dont know what you think but i think thats a pretty hefty bonus, considering most ancs only get you +5


    farmhouse_fatigue_modifier -0.35
    farmhouse_speed_global_modifier 0.15
    think this is a percentage, so once again well worth it and probably could have more of a moral improving effect than the shrine.

    fort_tower_fire_frequency_large 4
    fort_tower_fire_frequency_medium 4
    fort_tower_fire_frequency_small 4
    fort_tower_fire_frequency_ultra 4
    Every four seconds

    gate_capture_time 15
    keep_capture_time 60
    tower_capture_time 15
    key_building_capture_time 110
    Almost two minutes for key buildings!!!

    local_bonus_radius 55
    Meters, marked by the circle.

    shrine_morale_global_modifier 4
    shrine_morale_local_modifier 0
    Once again a fair modifier (remember not an exact correspondance to ingame moral).

    sword_dojo_charge_bonus_global_modifier 5
    sword_dojo_charge_bonus_local_modifier 0
    sword_dojo_melee_attack_global_modifier 2
    sword_dojo_melee_attack_local_modifier 0
    Counteracts an untrained fugu cook nicely, i approve, particularly good if you have nodachi troops.

    workshop_armour_global_modifier 2
    workshop_armour_local_modifier 0
    workshop_defence_global_modifier 3
    workshop_defence_local_modifier 0
    Now this is the biggest for me, this can make some unit essentially bulletproof, particularly heroes, monks and naginata samurai.



    What Special Abilities actually do

    special_ability_bonus_active_hide_charge_attack 14
    special_ability_bonus_active_hide_melee_attack 5
    special_ability_bonus_active_hide_spot_range 0.2
    Bet you never realised this, yes nijas get a melee bonus when hiding and can be spotted only at 1/5 of the distance they normally would (15 for most units).

    special_ability_bonus_artillery_accuracy 40
    special_ability_bonus_artillery_rof 60
    No units have this as far as im aware.

    special_ability_bonus_banzai_charge_attack 8
    special_ability_bonus_banzai_melee_attack 3
    special_ability_bonus_banzai_move_speed 0.6
    So banzia adds just over 50% to move speeds and gives some nice charge bonus', Melee dojo+ bazai + nodachi = a higher than yari cav bonus. Nice.

    special_ability_bonus_battle_speed_naval_move_speed 0.4
    special_ability_bonus_faster_rowing_move_speed 0.5
    Not that huge really for either. I rarely click this button.


    special_ability_bonus_cantabrian_circle_marksmanship 50
    special_ability_bonus_cantabrian_circle_reload_rate 30
    Im going to try putting one of these behind a spearwall now i have seen this, 130 accuracy is higher than a bow hero.

    special_ability_bonus_encourage_fleet_marksmanship 50
    special_ability_bonus_encourage_fleet_melee_attack 6
    special_ability_bonus_encourage_fleet_melee_defence 6
    special_ability_bonus_encourage_fleet_reload_rate 50
    One of the most powerful abilities in the game imo.

    special_ability_bonus_inspire_unit_marksmanship 50
    special_ability_bonus_inspire_unit_melee_attack 7
    special_ability_bonus_inspire_unit_morale 12
    special_ability_bonus_inspire_unit_reload_rate 40
    Going by this, matchlocks are best affected by inspire, followed by archers.


    special_ability_bonus_rally_max 2
    special_ability_bonus_rally_min 2
    special_ability_bonus_rally_non_routing 2
    special_ability_bonus_rally_routing_threshold 6
    So rally increases moral by 2 whenever, the threshhold means that a unit with moral below the threshold could get an additional bonus, ca did not implement that though.

    special_ability_bonus_range_increase_max_range 25
    Monks, notice no difference between matchlocks and bows.


    special_ability_bonus_rapid_advance_charge_attack 1
    special_ability_bonus_rapid_advance_speed 1.4
    Fairly self explanatory.

    special_ability_bonus_rapid_volley_reload_rate 70
    Big bonus.

    special_ability_bonus_second_wind_fatigue_reduction -11000
    Huge bonus which can have some real moral boosting effects. Not worth it unless exhausted though.

    special_ability_bonus_speed_increase 1

    special_ability_bonus_stand_firm_melee_defence 6
    Not that great really.

    special_ability_bonus_we_stand_and_fight_melee_attack 3
    special_ability_bonus_we_stand_and_fight_reload_rate 20
    As a global bonus, thats neat.

    special_ability_penalty_anti_rally -1
    -1 moral to any enemies within the circle is probaably not that worth the risk imo.


    special_ability_penalty_banzai_charge_attack 0
    special_ability_penalty_banzai_melee_attack 0
    special_ability_penalty_banzai_move_speed 0


    special_ability_penalty_blinding_grenade_accuracy -75
    special_ability_penalty_blinding_grenade_melee_attack -10
    special_ability_penalty_blinding_grenade_tracking_duration 8
    special_ability_unary_blinding_grenade_amount_for_full_effect 0.5
    special_ability_unary_blinding_grenade_min_amount_for_effect 0.1
    1. They are lazer guided
    2. These bonus' are ridicuolous, kisho ninjas look worth it.
    3. Only one grenade need hit for success.


    special_ability_penalty_stand_firm_move_speed 0
    No penalty for not standing is interesting.

    special_ability_penalty_warcry_melee_defence -2
    special_ability_penalty_warcry_morale -4
    special_ability_penalty_warcry_move_speed -0.35
    This is why its my favorite skill, not only this but it can tip the combat balancer to give your units other bonus' (which is why moral appears to rise when you use it).

    special_ability_penalty_warcry_naval_melee_attack -15
    special_ability_penalty_warcry_naval_melee_defence -15
    High.

    special_ability_penalty_whistling_arrows_melee_attack -4
    special_ability_penalty_whistling_arrows_morale -4
    special_ability_penalty_whistling_arrows_reload_rate -50
    special_ability_penalty_whistling_arrows_tracking_duration 25
    Once again adds extra laser guidance, who knew. Pretty powerful considering its range but one unit only.



    Why my units suck

    Here are screenshots of the major tables which affect how good a unit is (condensed, alot of minor stats cut out).

    Unit stats land
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 






    Battle Entities
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Projectiles (for missile units)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    So lets take a look at what these tell us.

    1:First off the most major point and somthing the game doesnt tell you. The last column of unit stats land 'resistant to moral shocks?'

    Artillery, cavalry and Asgaru have this set to false. This means that these unit incur additional moral penalties and will route faster in easier situations than other units. This is why cavarly cant grind down a unit of infantry and why ashigaru chain route. These units need baby sitting. This is why i dont use anything but matchlock ashigaru.

    2: Column 3: Infantry battle entity- you could be surpised how much this affects units (I just realised i forgot the cavarly entity, facepalm). So what does this tell us.

    Ashigaru all have the ashigaru id: they move at the monk speed. However their mass (which affects the charge) is lower than other units by 40%, this is why ashigaru are not nearly as good at charging as other units. They share the same height with other units too which means they have the same vulnerability to missiles 9but obviously less armour.

    What else can we see here: Well notice monks have a firing angle of 90 degrees while samurai have a firing angle of 120 degrees. This is a slight disadvatage as it means they ahve to turns further before they can fire (somewhat countered by their high speed and low number).

    Notice the charge values are higheer than the run values. This is why charging cavalry will always hit your cav as it tries to flee - they get a speed boost once they got within 50 metres.

    Finally the last column, projectile resistance, kata heroes have 2, this is not linear. This means it will take 3 or 4 arrows to take down one of these guys before they hit you.

    On cavalry: Yari cav are faster than others, fact.

    It should also be noted that bow cavs firing angle is pretty wide.

    So moving back to unit stas land:

    Melee skills (oops i forgot bonus vs cav too).
    What strikes me most here is how much greatguard suffer from being dismounted, they are worse when dimounted than katana cav, thats silly.

    Moral and things are fairly self explanitory.

    Spotting distances
    This shows what units are best at detecting hidden units. We can clearly see the value of light cav in this role as theirs is much much longer than anyone elses followed by archers.

    Finaly anti cavalry bonus'

    All cavalry units have this, except katana cavalry, eg kill katana cavalry with light cav or somthing. This is one of the reasons kata cav seem so abd compared to yari cav. They are sauffering a huge lack of bonus' in melee.

    Whats also interesting is that the yari ashigaru stat here is quite deceptive, its much higher when in spear wall. Does show why Yari samurai are probably a better anti cav unit though if you favour mobility and hate being charged in the flank (the sort of thing not being resistant to moral shocks makes lethal.. Think of Yari ashigaru as one direction only ownage.

    Missile units

    Does it suprise you that bow monks and bow cav have the same accuracy? Combine that bow cav accuracy with a swooping crane behind your lines and it gets a massive 90 accuracy, a perfect gen sniper (better than a bow hero). Their reload is also awesome. But thats not the whole story.

    Take a look at projectiles.
    Shogun arrow rider has a shorter range than some but also interestingly has the lowest base reload time.

    Flaming and whistling arrows greatly increase reload times, making them less worth it tha they may seem in some situations (dont use on ashigaru, its useless in other words, onyl against heavily armoured units).

    We aslo notice kisho ninja's blinding grenades are infact preciselly the same as fir bomb throwers (but with additional special buffs) and therefor will happily kill things).

    Aslo matchlock weapons do far more damage and therefor are much superior at actually killing things despite the shorter range and higher reload.

    Anyway, thats just a few point from me, there is much more to been gained from simply veiwing the raw stats.

    Excellent work, I've been waiting for someone to dig out these numbers. I'm always interested in the cold hard numbers behind the game.

    So I can consider myself lucky for finding that legendary +5charge/anticav spear for my general? That thing isn't that useful!

    Thanks a lot for the numbers though, this makes some things clearer to me.

    What a fantastic post. The morale stats are very interesting.

    Thank you!

    thanks for sharing ^_^ i wonder how many of these stack together though, sometimes it feels like only 2 of them will stack on a unit. (referring to morale)

    Intresting. Which folder/file did u pull these out of? I assume if you were able to open them in notebook and copy them in...then they can also be edited...I hope they can't.

    Well, problem is, that some of these numbers are taken off or dont count or are not cummulative.

    Especially the rear and flank penalty is not like this right now.

    I assure you it is. Moral number do not relate to ingame moral in a linear fashion though (ie ingame its simplified).

    When you say "for one unit only" do you mean that Whistling arrows' penalty effects only one unit only?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen it effect more than one unit before.
