Archers, Crossbows and Javelins Historic realism OUTDATED

Description


NEW LINK TO UPDATED VERSION HERE: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2132697592

SORRY IT WOULDNT LET ME UPDATE THIS VERSION.


Hey its my first mod and i did a ton of research on this. and tried to get as close as i could get to the time era by using different accurate sources as well as my own experience (I am an archer). the only way to truely know what happened is by being there... and as i cant do that i can only use the research i have found and my on knowledge


archer ammo is 60

Crossbow ammo is 25

Longbow range is 180 (i know in history the effective range was 200-220 meters however we are talking 800ish ad longbowmen not 1500AD longbowmen where longbows had a higher poundage and was practising since Youth)

Crossbow range reduced to 100 but accuracy and damage significantly improved (due to the short distance and the armour piercing they would of had)

Crossbow reload speed therefore slowed

Archer speed sped up to the average shot per min of 12

and a few other extras


please give me feedback i will look through and analyse every single one.


Trying to make archers as realistic as possible.


UPDATE 16/06/2020 Javelins

Disclaimer:

Finding historical facts about javelins and the men who carried them was very hard but i know understand what they were actually used for... They were mainly used for disrupting shield walls so that is what ive done in this mod

Javelinmen Reload speed is 6 per min

Javelin damage is increase significantly for the ability to disrupt shield walls and really be a pain on the field

Ammo now comes in 3 for different javelinmen (9/12/15)

Javelinmen should be used mainly for disrupting shieldwalls and counter archers if you can get in close.

Please give me feedback on these updates to the units ive watch many videos on javelins and what they do to chainmail and normal cloth armor and researched many things about them from factal websites so if you can prove to me that what i have in the mod is unrealistic i will take it out..

if you enjoyed my mod please rate. Thank You :)

well let me see how well this does... let me also get as much feedback as possible for this and your wish maybe my command :D just a little hint for this mod... i would use crossbowmen as counter archers behind an army cos they now have the ability to turn the tide of the whole battle.

i know it takes forever but i would LOVE if you did this mod for total war shogun 2 as the bow was the main battlefield weapon and in shogun 2 it just dosent feel like it unless you have warrior monks

This is really good stuff, idk if it's compatible with unit forlations and abilites mod, or longer land battles mod. Will try to figure out

Guys if you know your stuff then you need this mod!!!!! Bow has passion for strategy and a heart for realism. If you want to see just how OP Archers were in the Saxon era then download it!!!!

Keep it up man.
