Combined Community Bug Fixes for Attila!
CA Attila is loaded with bugs: Most don’t break the game but ruin the immersion.
Athanasios Ultimate Fixes. This is up to date with his latest release.
This mod includes about 80% of Athanasios’ fixes but removes table-rows that are often found in other mods even if Athanasios made some great choices (land units, garrisons, mounts, main)
It also adds a significant number of my own bugfixes and fix interpretations.
The One Who Knocks Community Patch 1.7 was included wherever the changes there made sense.
It has been tested with Radious, FOTE, Perdita and a few other overhauls.
Not MK yet.
It does this by having no startpos or script files.
No more Hunnic Machine Guns!!
The "reload skill" is bugged in Attila.
CA uses "att_effect_force_army_battle_all_firing_rate" at every upgrade opportunity for reload skill.
What is shows in-game is a 300-900% increase in firing rate when it is advertised as 10%.
By late game, a hunnic horse archer unit will be firing 5 times faster than your land archers without this mod.
Units with high reload rates- principally cav archers – gain an incredible bonus of about 250% per 5% supposed increase.
Units with mid-tier reload rates increase about 30-60% while slow reloaders (artillery) increase about 5%.
I broke out the higher-reload rate units into separate categories for each effect bonus and gave them a lower rate increase.
Per Athanasios, we’ve also relabelled the skill in the UI/text to say the more accurate "missile reload skill" rather than "missile firing rate". The units don’t actually fire that much faster. For ex, one unit in Vanilla’s "skill" is greatly improved from 2 shots/minute to 7 which is about a 350% increase after a 3 nomad upgrades. In this mod, it will only increase to about 4-5 shots/min.
Assembly Kit has a list of effects that don’t appear in the game.
When tested these effects work and must have been forgotten due to simplicity or sloppiness.
Effects: These are the innovative effects not before seen in Vanilla by Athanasios. The table is needed for the naval unit bonuses. They were created with Assembly Kit but should not need a startpos to use in-game.
Effect Bonus Value Unit Categories: Athanasios idea to provide upgrade bonuses to naval units. Outstanding and original work.
Effect Bonus Value Unit Class Junctions: More Upgrade Building effects for naval unit from Athanasios
Building Effect junctions: The upgrade buildings will now provide the effects above to naval units.
The bonuses for effect "unit_missile_range" are bugged throughout the tables.
Techs, traditions, and characters give bonuses from 3-20% to range.
However, CA only gave these bonuses 3-20 value points. We tested this extensively and found that it takes 100 value points to increase the range 1 meter. All related effects have been updated in tables and descriptions.
Accumulative Experience Traits and Ancillaries by Javi_Wan
"It fixes a vanilla bug where some traits and ancillaries (Like Pankration Gloves[www.honga.net] or Pilum[www.honga.net]) did not provided the experience on recruitment effect that the description showed, allowing now to stack them and recruit veteran units of several chevrons as originally intended"
A few other ancillary and character bugs were fixed
Diffed the referred authors with Vanilla to create fix tables to show only records that have been changed
KV_rules: Replicating mods that boosts morale of defenders who flee to quickly due to adjoining buildings being on fire. Vanilla has it at -20 which is absurd.
Reduced Friendly Fire Mod
Animations: Several Fixes for Missile Troop Animations from Knocks and Athanasios
Battle Camera: Shep with some help from Olympian
Building Units Allowed and armed citizenry junctions: Helped out broken factions unit recruitment – Alans, Franks in CHA and the desert/Judea factions
Building Upgrade/Downgrade Junctions: Changes from LS Modular Slots mod included. It’s easier to move between already-built buildings.
Naval Integrity: A little boost to naval integrity for experienced fleets. They fall apart in Vanilla 4-5 turns after recruitment.
Improved General Bodyguards started by Athanasios
Added a new admiral ship for the ERE to prevent their easy demises
Commodities: Fixed missing price of the cloth resource (AoC)
Effect Bonus Values and Bundles: Slavic Buffs compiled by “Knocks" (I toned it down)
Factions: A number of new separatist and rebel factions were needed to enable the civil war mechanic. Some faction culture changes.
Grouping Military Tables: Athanasios added a celt core group for new celtic rebel faction
Historical Characters: The Ebdani and Alaman special generals will emerge on turn 1146 without error
Political Parties: Supports Separatist Faction political dynamics. Works well with mods that add these group to rebellion tables in the startpos.
Slot Templates: Most of the changes have to do with Military Upgrade buildings now available in minor towns but there are multiple fixes for the lines of religions.
A few other fixes for options CA forgot, but nothing that will confuse the AI
Unit_Variants: From Moon’s bugfix of the CHA icons for large onagers
Unit Groupings: Units for emergent celtic rebel and separatist factions
Garrison Changes. The mod does include some boosts to Alan garrisons from the Alan mod community.
Unit Changes (land_units, main_units, mounts, special_abilities)
Culture Settlement Options
StartPos changes
The goal is for the mod not to overwrite changes from your favorite overhaul

Performance Maker by WhyXelsink is a favorite of some. I haven’t tested it extensively.
