No ranged attack animation...

[Zeppelin4]

My war chariots have no ranged animation anymore. I have version 119 with infoaddict as my only additional mod.

Follow up...

I tried it without mods and the ranged attack worked fine with my War Chariots. I then loaded up a game with just VEM and the ranged didn't work again. Seems to be a bug.

I don't have them either but thought it was a vanilla issue.

We cannot link attack animations to new unit classes like the Mounted Archer class. It is not possible to fix this without the game core only Firaxis has access to.

I'm confused .... If I use no mods the animation works fine and with the mod it doesn't. Did you flag the unit with some change of yours that creates a bug that is part of vanilla?

Vanilla stables say they increase the production speed of mounted units, but do not benefit keshiks, camel archers, chariot archers, Indian war elephants, and so on. Stables originally did so but this was broken when Firaxis changed their unit type. VEM fixes this bug by adding a "Mounted Archer" unit class, which the Stable increases the production speed of. However, it's not possible to link combat animations to new unit classes with our current modding tools.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me.

As I understand it, the new class also means that you can have spearman units with strength bonuses vs mounted units but no bonuses vs mounted archers.
