The system.txt file only for general tweaks across the game. All the data for the units is in DATA/squads.csv.

cheers

ive opened squads in csv but found no calculations for melee mechanics calculations

the only calculation for melee ive found was in the system.txt files shown down below

Code: Select all

// ***********************************************************
// ******************* Melee *********************************
// ***********************************************************

// Factor to slow down combat. % chance of a kill being a real kill. 50 means combat deaths are reduced by 50%. Cannot be more than 100. 
KillChance 50

//chanceToHit=hitChanceBase + ( ( attack - defence) * hitChanceMult)  
HitChanceMult 5

// As above
HitChanceBase 50

//Lower limit of tohit chance
MinHitChance 10

//Upper limit of tohit chance
MaxHitChance 95

//The max bonus amount a squad can get per turn (1 effectively disables the random bonus)
HitBonus 1

//Kill chance factor
KillChanceMult 5

//Chance to kill an unarmoured target
BasicDeathChance 30

//% combat bonus when flanking
CombatFlanking 200

//% combat bonus when flanking and IsCavalry
CombatCavFlanking 300

//% combat penalty when being flanked
CombatFlanked 50
also i found additional melee calculation variables in the bonusdef.txt such as 'agility' and 'concuss' but no information in-game or in any of the files on what these effect.

is there a file where info about these calculations are found in?

thanks cheers

GBM isn't as easily moddable as our later games, so it's only data changes that you can make I'm afraid.
