think you'd be willing to make a sister mod for this with no damage reduction and possibly a faster rate of fire for the towers?

I'm currently doing a This is Total War campaign as WRE, and it's impossible for me to win deffensive siege battles. My towers keep setting my city on fire, followed by my units fleeing like cowards even though the numbers are even (not to mention all the other debuffs from having a ruined city). Thank you for this mod!

I too am sick of tired of the amount of friendly fire the tower does, thanks for a helpful mode

Thank you for making a ridiculous game mechanic into a siege defense strategic asset, like how they should have been developed.

I have tested it and I can confirm that towers cause less friendly fire, don't fire your own city and they kill less enemies. So I think it is very balanced because the towers aren't so powerful now, nice mod.

It affects all towers.

does this affect the ai towers as well

Anything that makes attacking more dangerous is a big + for me.

I always hunt for mods like this since they always try to make it seem "fair" lol

Something sort of a more strong bow; more powerfull but not like a scorpion. It is possible ?

Would you like towers shooting scorpion bolts? It's possible, but probably a not very popular change and not what I created this mod here for. I suggest you go and create your own mod containing whatever changes you see fit. I can tell you which tables to edit if yóu need help with that.

No, I mean in vanilla towers use less powerfull projectiles than in reality but are too accurate. Historically towers had the best ranged weapons available. That means the powerfull ones. And this also means more friendly fire casualties; of-course this is situation dependant. A unit sitting in front of a tower alone must to get maximum damage. but in the same situation in fighting with our unit this must to take a way less damage, and the difference to be counted for our unit as ''friendly fire casualties''.

Towers getting captured instead of destroyed is a bug that happens sometimes, but I haven't noticed it happen any more often with my mod on.

As I already wrote in my description, this mod probably increases net lethality of towers, therefore if you don't want that I'd recommend to not use it.

I guess it might be more balanced at the largest unit size though.
Vaeringjar 27 Sep, 2015 @ 10:26am 
I also noticed that towers never got destroyed with the mod on, while with it off, they always get destroyed instead of captured. Which is great, for me at least.
IonizedMercury  [author] 27 Sep, 2015 @ 10:23am 
Well, then this mod probably wasn't made for you.

tower is way too OP, when defending at the center of a settlement, enemy caps towers, a tower alone basicaly killed a whole armoured unit of mine... on testudo... in a few minutes...
IonizedMercury  [author] 24 Sep, 2015 @ 2:35am 
You mean the towers are too accurate and you want more friendly fire with more powerful projectiles? That would fly in the face of what this mod is trying to accomplish, don't you think?

You did not understand. I say towers must have some friendly fire without halving the damage to compensate; just reducing the chance of hitting some friendly units !
IonizedMercury  [author] 24 Sep, 2015 @ 12:48am 
I could take it away completely by reducing the target zone of the projectiles to zero, but then every shot would be a bullseye, and I think that's overkill.

No more friendly fire from towers it's not accurate. Maybe you will decrease not remove all.
