Definitive Archer Fix (BB 4.36 + WUO 4.0)

[teenspeedy1]

Praetorian1 and Sarkiss have mentioned how to fix the misaligned bows of specific units. However, their files aren't downloadable anymore. I decided to just do it myself, and I made sure to be more comprehensive by playing with every missile unit. I thoroughly tested this through custom battles or through create_unit cheat for the factions not available in custom battle. I am 95% sure I didn't miss any units. Although I have a nagging feeling, I might have remembered seeing a misaligned horse archer unit in the past two years. Please let me know if I missed anything in-game.



Specifically these are the foot archers that are fixed and how:

1) Peasant Archers (Poland, Novgorod, Kiev, Lithuania, Georgia, Mongols)
Peasant_Archers -> EE_Peasant_Archers

2) Peasant Archers (Egypt, Turks)
Peasant_Archers -> ME_Peasant_Archers

3) “Bedouin Archers”
Desert Archers (Egypt, Moors, Hedjaz)
Norse_Archers -> Desert_Archers

4) Archer Militia (Egypt)
Peasant_Archer -> ME_Archer_Militia

5) Armenian Archers (All)
Longbowmen -> Armenian_Archers

6) “Sersernn”
Irish Bowmen (Ireland)
Longbowmen -> Highland_Archers

7) “Armenian Garrison Archers”
Armount Archers (Armenia)
Peasant_Archers -> Armount_Archers

8) Prussian Archers (Teutonic Order)
Norse_Archers -> Prussian_Archers



This is specifically for BB 4.36 + WUO 4.0, and it is compatible with old saves. However, you should still BACKUP both your save and export_descr_unit before overwriting.
To install, extract export_descr_unit.txt to Medieval II Total War\mods\DLV_ext\data.

Hi teenspeedy. In a bout of nostalgia, I've come back to DLV and good ol' BB. I haven't been here in ages, but let me say how great it is to see people who still care and take the time to provide fixes like this for the community. Have some rep, for what it's worth, and know that there are some of us who still appreciate your hard work!
