Free Fort Attack
Synopsis
Allows units in forts, and optionally cities, a free attack against enemies in the surrounding plots
Forum thread here
Gameplay
Configured units that are stationed in a fort at the end of a turn can perform a free attack against enemy troops in the surrounding squares. The attackers also need some movement points at the end of the turn.
The potential targets of attack varies depending on the ownership of the fort plot. If the fort is on a plot that is owned by a player then only enemies of the owners team are potential targets. If the fort is in neutral territory then all units in surrounding squares are considered potential targets.
At the end of a turn each attacker picks one of its teams enemies at random and performs the attack. The damage that these attacks can give uses a configurable base value (percentage of targets full health) with a multiplier based on the relative strength of the attacker and target. There is a configurable cap on the maximum percentage damage that a target can have at the end of the attack, and any units that have less than this value are not considered potential targets. The attackers are never damaged in a fort attack.
The configurable values are set in the GlobalDefinesAlt file.
Modders
The types of units who can attack is based on a new optional tag in the UnitCombatInfo type so is fully configurable.
