Doh, never mind. The solution is in the e-file, not in efx.pzdat. Those units have a trait called backfire, and it does work for the Archer as well.

Hey, this may be a tough one, but maybe an experienced modder does know.

I've been trying to fix the Archer so that the cannon is truly rear-mounted, meaning the unit should move like the British Portees and the Deacon with the cannon to the rear and then quickly turn around to fire. As it stands ...

Hi Flak:
