Artillery stacks bugged?

[synk]

I found a thread talking about the lethal artillery component in this mod, apparently artillery can kill units from full hp. Well I have ran into this in a game I have, the USSR declared war on me right as I was mopping up all of western Europe which was no problem I was ready for it. Well he has a stack of 32 artillery units and I literally cannot touch it, every time I attack it with any unit my unit just dies to artillery without doing any damage at all. Is this supposed to work this way? His army is completely unstoppable even though I have much much much more units his 32 stack of artillery cannot be touched. Any attack no matter how big just instantly dies without doing any damage due to the artillery mechanic.

The artillery problem was one of the reasons I virtually elimated it in my version of the game. The AI sees the artillery as the best unit - bang for buck - so it builds a lot of them.

You could try building a fleet of bombers.

Or if you want to start a new game - go to the XML\Units folder, find the Civ4UnitClassInfos.xml, open in notepad, find the the Artillery classes - UNITCLASS_WW2_ARTILLERY, UNITCLASS_WW2_HEAVY_ARTILLERY, UNITCLASS_WW2_MODERN_ARTILLERY and set your own limits as to how many can be built, by a player, by a team, by all. NOTE: -1 = no limit

NOTE: Copy the file before you edit it, so you have a backup
