Woodsman promotion counts for attack AND defence? Really?

[Iblis]

The FFH2 wiki says in the Ljosalfar strategy "Dont forget that the Woodsman unit promotion counts for attacking as well as defending in FfH, and try to build in forest tiles as much as you can!" - is that true? The civolopedia doesn't say this, is this information up to date/accurate?

 

[Gamestation]

It is true. Woodsman counts when you attack into forests and while you are standing in a forest.

 

[Silverkiss]

The Guerrilla promotions also work this way, I think. (If they still dont work, the team is going to implement that some day)

 

[Iblis]

In that case the pedia really needs to make this clear as it just says defence - Kael or someone on the project team, can you clarify or change the pedia accordingly?

 

[Mesix]

You can see the effect in game by looking at the modifiers to each unit during combat. The woodsman and guerrilla promotions do indeed work on attack as well as defense.

 

[Iblis]

If the modifiers are there it doesn't show in the combat summary - I didn't see anything like a "+40% from abilities" when I was attacking.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

The guerilla promotion doesn't work on attack yet, as I recall. Something about attack promotions working on features but not terrain.

 

[TheJopa]

Guerrila doesn't work on attack but woodsman does.
If *defender* is in forest and attacker has woodsman then attacker gets bonus.
It is not in pedia because in vanilla they work only in defense, it was SDK modification team made (which wasn't documented in pedia, that's what wiki is for)

You are right, attacking bonus's are applied to features you are attacking into, but not terrains.

Would it be possible to get that changed Kael?
So that my guerilla get an attack bonus into hills too?
(or do you want it that way for some reason?)

warlords introduced a promotion for attacking hills-i don't know what kael plans but he's probably not keeping it inherint because hills are currently indestructible and immobile

Yeah, lik Eerr said the best way to do it would be as Firaxis did it (new schema, sdk reads, etc). I didnt turn it on for terrain because there are to many units that get terrain bonus's that would have been effected. The only terrain bonus in the game was elves so that was easier. We will probably add a specific hills attack adjustment as firaxis did in warlords down the road.
