Coding a different ranged attacks doing full damage BOTH to Units and Cities

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

Is it possible to code a new kind of ranged attack that combines benefits of BOTH RangedAttack (By ranged class) and Bombardment (by siege class)? Personally I want to make an Artillery unit that can now do full damage to land units by default.

This is what i'm trying to do rightnow.
UnitGameplay.xml

<GameData>
...
       <Tags>
...
      
              <Row Tag="CLASS_ARTILLERY" Vocabulary="ABILITY_CLASS"/>           <!--Siege class default attack boosts-->
      
...

       </Tags>
       <TypeTags>
              <Row Type="UNIT_ARTILLERY" Tag="CLASS_ARTILLERY"/>
       </TypeTags>
...
</GameData>

A tag class added to units rather than replacing

UnitAbilitiesGameplay.xml

<GameData>
       <Types>
...
              <Row Type="ABILITY_HE_SHELLS" Kind="KIND_ABILITY"/>
...
       </Types>
       </TypeTags>
              <Row Type="ABILITY_HE_SHELLS"  Tag="CLASS_ARTILLERY"/>
      
       </TypeTags>
       <UnitAbilities>
              <Row UnitAbilityType="ABILITY_HE_SHELLS" Name="LOC_ABILITY_HE_SHELLS_NAME" Description="LOC_ABILITY_HE_SHELLS_DESCRIPTION"/>


       </UnitAbilities>

              <Row ModifierId="HE_SHELLS_BONUS_VS_UNITS" Context="Preview"        Text="LOC_ABILITY_HE_SHELLS_FULL_DAMAGE_VS_UNITS_MODIFIER_DESCRIPTION"/>
       </ModifierStrings>
</GameData>

UnitAbilitiesText.xml

<GameData>
       <BaseGameText>
              <Row Tag="LOC_ABILITY_HE_SHELLS_NAME"> <Text>High Explosive Shells</Text> </Row>
              <Row Tag="LOC_ABILITY_HE_SHELLS_DESCRIPTION"> <Text>[COLOR_GREEN] Full [ICON_Bombard] [ENDCOLOR] Bombard Strength vs. units.</Text> </Row>
             <Row Tag="LOC_ABILITY_HE_SHELLS_FULL_DAMAGE_VS_UNITS_MODIFIER_DESCRIPTION"> <Text>[COLOR_GREEN]FULLY Negates -17 [ICON_Bombard] [ENDCOLOR]Bombard Strength vs. units.</Text> </Row>


       </BaseGameText>
</GameData>

Is it possible to assign separate ranged attack types that allows a land unit to deal full damage against BOTH cities and units?

And without the need to write texts describing that such debuffs are now fully negated.

That workaround is the right way to go, you simply negate the penalty with an ability, just like some promotions do. A direct toggle for what you want to do is not available.
