Victor’s Attila Battle Mod

DESCRIPTION:

Little battle mod that reworks the battle system of Attila Total War.

LIST OF CHANGES:

1 Slightly buffed metal armours (chainmails, scale, cataphract and lamellar) and some large shields (oval, oval large, round large, and tower).

2 Axes are now anti-armour weapons that ignore 25% of the enemy armour value if one handed, or 50% if two handed.
(Note: axes do not ignore the enemy shield armour value therefore flanking maneuvers are a must versus shield bearing soldiers).

3 Swords are now anti-infantry weapons (damage changed and added bonus vs infantry).

4 Increased spears AP damage and added a little anti-infantry bonus to the shortspear.

5 Improved shield wall and defensive testudo vs charging enemies: these formations will now grant the "expert charge defence" trait to the unit once deployed.

6 Changed the formations of the Roman sword-infantry and fixed Slavic warlord’s formation (from spearwall to shieldwall).

7 Added the trait "scare immune" to some elite troops.

8 Slightly changed the damage of some arrows and javelins.

9 Reworked Slavic Archers:

a – Poison shot now acts only as a debuff (-20% melee attack, melee defence and speed) and lasts 10 seconds for light poison and 30 seconds for heavy poison, but the arrow itself has a higher damage.
b – Slavic Archers have access to heavy and flaming arrows to compensate.

10 Elephants buffed vs cavalry.

11 Cavalry will now take collision damage as it should be.

COMPATIBILITY:

This mod should work with most mods exept big overhaul mods such as Radious and Fall of the Eagles.
