I think the damage of the arrows might be hardcoded, but if you want to increase/decrease casualties you can always change the rate of fire of the towers.

[makanyane]

file you need to change fire rate is descr_walls.txt in data folder

tower_external_corner_link
{
egyptian_huge_city_external_corner_watchtower
reload_ticks_arrow 5
reload_ticks_ballista 10
}
}

change numbers in bold for each type of tower (I don't think you can change gates) - I think smaller number = less time to reload = faster fire (but could be other way round!)

You can also change some of the stats in EDB, export_descr_buildings, scroll down to walls and you'll see them. Sorry I'm at work so I can't paste an example from here.

Just remember , spelling and syntax {including spacing and punctuation} must be exact .


I've found copy and paste to be one of the surest ways to prevent spelling errors when modding {especially given I'm dyslexic :/} .
Proceed one change at a time .

Hello, I can't be able to change the fire rate of the towers, i tried several times, increasing and decresing the ammount on different types of walls, but nothing changes.
Also i don't understand what is the meaning of frontal, external corner and iternal cor. and i wonder if the reload is applied also to the gate's towers; moreover there are several "temporarey" walls for romans ,at least in BI, (don't know what they mean) and I can't find the epic ones for romans.
Anybody has been able to change the effective rates of fire? (at least for the arrow, because they are pretty weak and sincerely is hard to withstand a horde siege of 4 times more troops on hard mode)
