Some modding questions about the combat file.

[unmerged(7090)]

Looking through the ‘combat’ file in the db folder, I came up with a number of questions:

1. How does ‘shock’ work in the combat sequence? Does it interact with ‘attack’ and ‘defence’ or does it get used in a separate phase of combat resolution?

2. The ‘size’ of all units is set to 100. If I changed the ‘size’ of knights to, say 20, would that mean that you now get only 1/5 the normal number of knights from your provinces? Or would it mean that 20 knights now perform as well as 100 did before I changed the file? Or would it mean both at the same time?


I’d also like to ask a couple of more general questions:

A. Is there any way to change how long sieges take?

B. Is there any way to change recruitment speed (i.e. how fast troops from a province replenish once they’re demobilised)?

C. What stats in the combat file (or any other file for that matter) should I change if I want battles to typically result in much higher casualties?

Thanks in advance,

Is there any way to change how long sieges take?

You could change the values for the siege advancements in db/advances.txt: Increase them to make sieges shorter, decrease them to make them last longer.

Cheers, Zvetiki--I'll give that a go.
