[BtS-3.13] Combined Arms Stack Attack

[kristopherb]

Its Awesome.
Altough i've not got past redcoats yet its cool. Some ideas
First strike damages all units (oppossing)
Units that have sucessfuly beaten a unit and has survived with 50% health or more can attack another unit.
Give oppotunity fire to archerey units (but make the damage half of that of seige)

Tried the stack attack, lost haf of the units, afterwards I reloaded and tried one one fight instead, only lost 25%.
Hence, should not larger stacks earier defend against singel attacks?

I haven't finished writing the actual combat code yet.

When you do a "stack attack" with the beta, it's normal combat (one-on-one). It still picks best attacker and best defender.

Dale are you still working on this mod?

Just some questions, I know I should just download it but still.
One, I don't understand, if you attack a stack with a stack... The loser doesn't or does lose all units in that stack? Two, if you attack a stack with a just one unit, lets say it's a stack of 10 warriors and your attacking with one Tank, does the stack die?
And last thing, if 12 units or on a tile and get attack are they a stack? Or will they fight one on one? in other words, do you make stacks or are stacks just a lot of units in the same tile.
Other then that(for now) Good work! I love the mod!

Does not. Only units that are killed.

Two, if you attack a stack with a just one unit, lets say it's a stack of 10 warriors and your attacking with one Tank, does the stack die?

Only if the tank kills all 10 warriors (highly unlikely).

And last thing, if 12 units or on a tile and get attack are they a stack? Or will they fight one on one? in other words, do you make stacks or are stacks just a lot of units in the same tile.

They will be treated as a stack. Further, fighters on carriers/cities will also participate.

Other then that(for now) Good work! I love the mod!

Thanks.

Do you plan to cap the number of units that can attack in a stack or use unlimited attackers ?

How does the AI fare with this mod? Seems to me it'd need special coding so the AI could effectively utilize different-unit stacks now.

CASA is released.

See first post.

Looks really good! Does the AI understand how to use it?

Yes. The AI does use is.

You should know the answer to that by now of any of my mod components.

Sorr-ee! Actually, was just askin' because the discussion of stack attacks came up in this thread and some people are throwing around the idea that the AI estimating/simulating stack combat was too much for it to handle....

Hey Dale,

Would Stack Attack work if it were merged with the Regiments mod?

It's not so much that stacks are a problem. The AI's used stacks since BtS. Whether they're good or not is up to interpretation. I'm not even opening that kettle of fish.

I just utilise the existing stack code which generates AI stacks and leverage off that. But the core of this mod is the combined arms. The ability of a stack to call on auxillery support from other units in the plot. For instance, calling on air and bombardment support for the attack.
