Enlarging dwarven artillery. Please help!

**PythonBoy** · June 10, 2016, 03:47 AM

Hi Folks.

I need some help with dwarven artillery. I'm not much of a modder. Always downloaded other people's mods. However I'd like to enlarge dwarven artillery from 4 units to 6, either in existing mods or create one. I know how to enlarge the artillery crews but artillery number stays the same. I've tried tweaking engine numbers under land_units_tables but no avail. No doubt I'm doing something wrong. Could someone please help?

PS: I'm trying to edit an existing mod atm, so that the unit numbers line up with the "Larger Units" mod. However gun numbers seem to stay at 4.

Similar to my problem, I'm trying to create a siege tank battalion of 4 but failed on all accounts.
But I have successfully increased empire artillery number. You have found the number of engine, I changed the mortar number to 8, and the actually number of mortars changed to 6. When the number is 16, there are 8 mortars, so I'm guessing the number went through calculation, you may try to mess around with that number and see how many actual engines you end up with.

If you set the num_engines to 8, you actually get 8 mortars. The value is always for the ultra unit size. On large unit size you would get 75% of that, which makes 6 mortars (So you actually would get 12 mortars, if you set the number to 16, on large unit size.)
And as CptMcAwesome already mentioned, you also need to increase the num_men accordingly.
