Field of fire

[jonny duck]

Just a quick question for modders (and this seem like the best thread to post in?). Mounted archer units are limited to a front facing cone of fire, yet ranged units on a ship have a circular field of fire. Is it possible to give mounted ranged units (such as Nomad archers) that same field?

The attribute mounted_fire_parthian is already used to give some HA almost 360 degree firing (there's a small dead spot directly behind the unit). Give your unit the attribute group missile_cavalry_parthian(_cold/hot) or make your own group and assign that attribute to it.

Another way is to go into battle_entities and change fire_arc_close and fire_arc_loose to 360(around 120 vanilla) The only problem with this is that your units won't visually turn around to shoot, but they will be able to fire backwards.
