    Default Introduction of Fire By Rank into the game

    Hello,

    So far there has been Fire By Rank/FBR/ mods mainly by Radious and Zero but they work only for custom games for all factions. In the campaign FBR gets only Austria and probably Russia by now. Question is - how can one make all factions utilise it ? Also how can FBR extend to all units, not only to vanilla ones. Cause the mod added units didn't get it even in custom game so far. That's a great problem. Any knowledge on the topic will be greatly appreciated. I intend to patch the game files necessary for this, question is you go where and which ones are they ?

    Mod units don't get it because you have to individually edit each unit to allow them to use the firedrill, and the developers of those mods likely do not include that in order to prevent their units from being OP in comparison to the vanilla units.

    You can do it yourself, too. You only need PFM. With it open the latest patch.pack or the mod.pack and edit the "fire by rank" column. Instead of false say true. Be aware to not give it to melee inf, arty or cav, it may cause bugs.

    Pack File Manager is it's full name.

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=346400 for Napoleon&Empire

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=433370 for Shogun 2, probably works for NTW&ETW, too, but it's still a beta. The best would be to have both installed, I say.
