Attila Campaign Community Bug Fixes and Indispensable Features
Major firing rate bugfix.
Modular Slots mod added
Attila is loaded with bugs or oversights.
Most don’t break the game but ruin the air of historic realism.
This mod attempts to assemble all known bug-fixes except those that would interfere with the main Attila mods.
It also adds a few new bug-fixes that were mostly discovered by the Sources below.
For compatibility, this mod focuses solely on issues that are clear bugs and not balance/bug combination issues.
Athanasios Ultimate Fixes. I try to keep up with the latest release.
The One Who Knocks Community Patch 1.7
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.
This mod also removes nearly all unit changes from Athanasios’ mod except for a few select additions.
I made this to be highly integrated with Community Startpos Overhaul by Shep, but it is not necessary.
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 Athansios, 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, on 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 Athansios. 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: Athansios 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 bonsuse 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
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
Battle Camera: Shep with some help from Olympian
Building Units Allowed: Helped out broken factions unit recruitment – Alans, Franks in CHA and the desert/Judea factions
Map Attrition: Athansios expanded this from sources. Self-evident.
Naval Integrity: A little boost to naval integrity for experienced fleets. They fall apart in Vanilla 4-5 turns after recruitment.
New General Bodyguards from Athanasios
Added a new admiral ship for the ERE to prevent their easy demises
Commodities: Fixed missing price of the cloth resource (AoC)reimplemented by Athanasios
Effect Bonus Values and Bundles: Slavic Rework compiled by The One Who Knocks ("Knocks")
Factions: A number of new separatist factions are needed to enable the civil war mechanic. Some faction culture changes.
Grouping Miltary Tables: Athasios added a celt core group for new celtic rebel faction
Historical Characters: The Ebdani and Alaman special generals will emerge on turn 1151 rather than 1146. This makes them compatible with other startpos.
Political Parties: Supports Separatist Faction political dynamics. Works well with mods that add these group to rebellion tables in the startpos.
Slot Templates: Shep has been working on this for 3 years. Most of the changes have to do with Military Upgrade buildings now available in minor towns.
A few other fixes for options CA forgot, but nothing that will confuse the AI
Cheaper state gifts. Combine this with Shep’s mod and you have a diplo powerhouse game.
See a better implementation at Shep’s Diplomacy Mod
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. Shep strong recommends Skidvar’s garrison mod or Shep’s Version of Skidvar’s mod
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
