LOS question

[SteveD64]

Out of the box this is a really nice game. I was, however, toying with the idea of the using the halved movement/halved range mod along with modding the LOS so that units could only see a certain amount of squares in the distance (say 6 or 8 or whatever). Increasing the FOW is something I think might improve an already great game.

Can the LOS be modded? What bad side effects might result if this happened? Would it hamper the AI (which is pretty darn good)?

I'll take any further questions to the mod board.

thanks

You could try simply altering the LOS in the Squads.csv file. It is currently 20 squares, giving a value of 200. If you want it to be 6 squares, the value would be 60.

I am not sure whether there is anything in the scripts that would stop this working.

Do not alter the squads file in the main installation. Make a copy of one of the Historical Scenarios "campaigns" in the Editor, you will then find it in \My Documents\My Games\PSCAMP\WhateverYouCalledYourCampaign

Put a copy of the Squads.CSV in that subdirectory and edit it there.

See the bottom of the document below for the file tree of custom campaigns.
