How can I edit in artillery bombardment to my game? I'm thinking about Civ 3 style blast an enemy unit from a square or two over and knock off 3 hp. Pow! Is there any way to do this?

Also, I've found an interesting little tag that calls itself iPower. What does this do exactly? I suspect that it adds to the "Power" score and has nothing to do with combat power or hp?

Try this for ranged bombarding:

I'm poking around in the mod, but I can't quite figure out what you did to allow ranged bombardment. Could you give me a quick crash course on how you did it? I'm using the ethnic diversity mod (in addition to some changes I made myself) so I have to go in there myself and fiddle around with all the .xmls and whatnot.

SDK changes are all indicated with "// Dale" so just search on that.

XML changes:
- Civ4MissionInfos.xml: changed bombard mission.
- Civ4InterfaceModeInfos.xml: added bombard interface mode.
- Civ4UnitSchema.xml: do a search for "DCM" which should highlight the two additions.
- Civ4UnitInfos.xml: do a search for "DCMBombRange" will show you the new tag for ranged bombarding units.

I can't seem to make the ranged bombardment work- all I've succeeded in doing is removing the regular bombard feature. This hurts especially bad because I modded walls to give a %200 bonus to defense, and now there is no counter to it.

I didn't put in the .dll, because its addition crashes the game, and I don't know how to crack it open and have a look at what's inside. Is there a certain program I need?

You need the dll. Whats the error?

"Runtime Error!

I know your mod is for Warlords 2.08, and I'm running 2.00. The reason for this is that I've put together a mod of my own that doesn't seem to work for 2.08 and I am rather loathe to throw all my work away and start over from scratch. That's why I've been trying to hand-merge it rather than just copy-pasting.

Then that's the problem. :)

A 2.08 dll will not run in 2.00. In the zipfile is a folder called source. Contains all the source files. Do as search for "// Dale" in those folders, transfer them into the 2.00 files (copy/paste) then compile.

Dale, you make me feel foolish. How would I compile said files into a .dll? For that matter, how would I decompile these files?

Hmm..... can I make a suggestion? Download my full combat mod for Warlords, and when you start a custom game in the game options area, turn off everything except ranged bombardment. My full mod for warlords is for version 2.00, not 2.08.

Or, patch up buddy!

I am now patched up, running a new Civ game minus any ranged bombardment. Only trouble is that I don't know how your .dll will interact with the .dll of the mod I'm running- I'm using Ket's Unaltered Gameplay, and I don't want to lose all the goodies that come with it if I can avoid it.
