Sup everyone, looooongtime lurker here. I've been working on a general balancing mod for a while, but I've run into a couple of stumbling blocks that I haven't been able to find the answers to..... so I figured it was finally time to "exist" and ask around:
Specifically, I want to make archer and some naval units capable of both range and melee attacking. This is simple enough to do... but there's two problems that are interface and not necessarily gameplay issues. The first is that range/melee capable units will always auto-range attack on right click. I "solved" this by giving them the Must Set Up promotion, which makes them melee until set-up, but even then it's not perfect. The other, more annoying problem is that the UI will only show the potential results of a range attack--even when prompting a melee battle. Does anyone know of a UI mod or simple code that would fix this issue? It would be greatly appreciated!
My other question: with regards to naval units, I've been finding little incentive to ever melee attack--except for city capture--even when ranged attacks do significantly less. (Example: I gave range/melee capable Galleasses 20 strength and 10 ranged strength.) So I'm thinking one way to solve this is to make ranged naval unit capable of ranged attacks against land domain units only. I know there's an option that subs use called [rangedattackdomainonly]... anyone know a possible way to modify this to something like [rangedattacklandonly]?
Thanks a bunch!
