Re: Alternative LoS (instead of base game's 20)?

I've been thinking some time about the line-of-sight range. Base game's is 20, which to me is too long. What would be a challenging yet enjoyable range for MP games? I'm thinking 10 or maybe 7, which could make a true difference to MP and add more nerve. 5 may be too low, but is worthwhile consider...

Re: Sandbox Campaign suggestions

Re: UNDO command and other FoG2 features in P&S

Has adding to P&S LF being able to pass through friendly units in FoG2, via a mod, ever been discussed, historically and technically ? At present this is impossible from a technical point of view, since the P&Sh engine lacks one necessary command (for the same reason, it is impossible to ad...

Re: AGE OF REASON MOD Version 2.0

I would not want to realise it. The current rules already allow more manoeuvrability than there would usually be in a real battle. Someone is welcome to mod it thus, however. In reality it would just be a matter of adding a couple of squares on each side. What, if any, would be the file and string ...

Re: AGE OF REASON MOD Version 2.0

@Cronos : As you seem interested, these rules provide more info on how they see Manoeuvre battles. They are of two types and the attacker have to choose one of them at the start : 1) 'Attaques convergentes' ( converging attacks ? ). Austrians are good at that one, thanks to their general staff.

Re: Lethality of musket fire

Moreover, my intent wasn't that of merely enhancing the fire power of some units but to decrease the range of probabilities of the outcome of the salvo (i.e., for example, to have casualties for superior units going from 70 to 90 instead from 36 to 111 and for average units from 40 to 60 instead fr...

Re: Modding horse ?

The issue (from my point of view) with this mod as it is currently is that it breaks the ZoC : The ZoC option works in the original game in this way. Add an extra condition in TurnCost function, eg. if ((IsUnitSquadType(me, "Cavalry") == 1) && (SquareZOCd(x, y, me, 1) == -1)) { } ...

Btw, it also allows other "Mounted" (such as Reiters, Kurassiers or Gendarmes) to have this behaviour. No big deal of course, as the mod can just to be turned on/off, according to one's own taste (or in SP you can just decide to ignore the '4 squares behind' ; in friendly MP too). I do no...
