Capture of artillery in FoGII

[Cronos09]

The adaptation of my mod for P&S:
1) Artillery units always remain on the battlefield. If this unit is defeated it will have the "Dispersed" status with its dead artillery crew;
2) Only non-light infantry unit can capture the artillery unit with a repeat charge (after a mellee), cavalry and light infantry don't. Morale state of the artillery is equal to the infantry unit;
3) If a friendly unit is within 1 square of the artillery unit, it regains control of this artillery next turn. Morale state of the artillery is equal to the unit;
4) AI is also 'trained' to capture player's artillery.

The current result is in the video

The scripts are still being finalized.

Thumbs up
And happy holiday season.

btw Capturing artillery may also interest owners of FoG: Medieval for the further reason that its next DLC — Storm of Arrows — will most probably add gunpowder artillery.

Thanks. Happy holiday.
Mod https://disk.yandex.by/d/DYc12tG68LDvKw. Unzip and install as FoGII global mod, i.e. in C:\Users\(User's name)\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\MODS\ and you can turn it on/off in the left lower corner of the main menu.
It works with all the original battles and custom battles in which the original artillery units use.

Maybe you could add one constraint in FoG: Ancients :
"Only able factions can capture and use enemy artillery".

Not sure all 'barbarian' factions knew how to use artillery irl. In a civil war, I guess Roman could capture and re-use enemy Roman artillery. But could say Gallic do it too (even if some of their leaders most likely went to Rome in their youth as half-hostage half-student as part of alliance treaties) ?

However, I may be wrong. Don't know anything about Ancient military History.

Just a suggestion.
