@Strain
You're right, thanks for clarifying - this change seemed to have slipped my mind :D

Great to hear. Cheers man!

@Captain thanks, mod should not have needed an update, but is updated now anyways so people can be sure that it works

@ktoffel glad you like it. Some time ago CA removed merlons as physical blockers, which I think is a good thing since range units now are actually willing to shoot units that are on top of walls. In turn they added an effect to all units that are docked on walls that gives +20% Range, +25% Missile Block Chance (Shield) and +10% Missile Resistance, so that the theoretical benefits of merlons are still impacting the battle. Giving units another missile resistance or block chance seems overtuned to me, since 25% Block and 10% Resistance already is a lot.

Hello Strain, thank you for this mod . I've been using it for quite a while now and love it <3
Wanted to ask for a little feature, none the less:
What do you think about adding a missile block modifier for units on the walls, representing merlons of the parapet.
Or probably a flat out missile resist?

cheers

This, coupled with vanguard deployment and assladders begone seems like a good incntive to actually keep your archers on the walls. Nice mod. I take it it doesn't need an update since?

Thank you very much ! Cheers

@Gorgious thanks for the info, its fixed now

FWIW causes crash to desktop when launching game with latest update. Cheers

the ai siege defender still immediately abandons the walls, sadly. Sieges feel so anticlimactic compared to WH2

@BulleTgt +1 for only ammo replenishment

Nice mod, but I think it is a little too OP. It would be nice to have just ammo replenishment without additional bonuses

@Straker https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=3291408496

@Straker managed to find a way to do it and updated the mod

It really sucks there isn't a constant for replenish ammo every 10s or so (as if quickly leaving and coming back is more realistic, which you can do far faster than 10s).

Any update on this? That's all I want!

@Strain Thanks! Yeah, sounds like missile defence is already covered for wall units :)

@Rincewind322 That sounds cool but honestly I dont know if something like that is possible. I think adding an AOE mortis engine effect could be pretty easy but I dont know if you can make it affect only enemies below you or climbing walls. And your units having a constant mortis effect even once enemies are up on the walls doesnt sit quite right with me.


@TheMediCat units get a 10% Missile Resistance (and I think about 20% range?) when docked on siege walls or barricades. Plus the actual models of the merlons block enemy missiles, which actually prevents quite a bit of damage plus of course line of sight disadvantages for the enemy. With all these advantages I think another bonus to Missile Resistance seems a bit too op for me.

Is there a way to make the units more resilient to missile attacks? To simulate the cover from the wall/merlons. Or do those already protect them?

if you mean update you did not bother to check ingame if it works did you? :D because it does

up pls

should be in the base game honestly
current base game buffs arent good enough

@Strain Hi I adore this mod, troops trying to hold walls generally have a huge material advantage over troops trying to climb/assault them. In that spirit, and thinking about the Warhammer Siege rules that let unengaged units on walls to drop rocks as Strength 4 hits against enemies at the base of the wall, would you consider adding an effect that perhaps applies Direct Damage against units climbing ladders onto held/defended walls (either for a set period or as long as they have models on the ground, whichever is more feasible/reasonable)? This would also be in the spirit of units manning guns on walls in Empire TW, and generally a potentially better representation of troops holding walls than just their control of the Wall Towers (imo).

@Strain The way you do it makes the bonus visible so you do have an advantage.

@ShadDoUrden Thx for the translation!

@incata nice catch! didnt think about that, to me the most simple way seemed to be to kind of "mimic" the "siege defender" buff and just modify the stats it provides and when it applies

@Incata thank you for sharing this. That is actually good to know (didn't know about the resistance)

@Oombrella Units on walls already get bonuses in the original game, 20% missile range and +10 missile resistance.

@Strain This could be achieved in a much simpler way, adding
wh3_ef_line_siege_wall / stat_melee_defence / 5 / add
wh3_ef_line_siege_wall / stat_morale / 9 / add
In special_ability_phase_stat_effects_tables you would get the same effect without further additions but thanks for sharing your work.

This!

ohh this is impressive, i love it

Hold the Door ;-;

Thx for the mod

I trad in french : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3039826877

I feel some missile resist and/or missle block chance would be good too, since leaving melee on the walls makes them sitting ducks for any non-straight firing units.

Great mod!

I dont really know if the ai takes buff abilities like this into consideration for their actions, but they probably do not hold the walls longer I would guess

Nice idea. Does the ai also hold the wall longer because of this buff?
