Bombardment Nerf & Tweaks (FotS)

-Range reduced by 2 for both ships and ports, providing some relief from bombstacks. This still allows the bombardment of buildings and armies close to the coast, but protects those in-land. Ex: you can still bombard the hell out of the Kai farm and specialty, but Mikawa and Ugo are safe.
-Chance to hit and damage per bombardment ability point reduced by 33% , successful bombardment requires more ships.
-Gun and torpedo boats cannot bombard anymore.

Details in discussion.

I'm not trying to make it so that only ports can be bombarded, there are others mods for that and bombstacks are part of the challenge, regardless of how artificial and annoying they are, this just tones down the annoyance. I may reduce range slightly more though, need tests.


This is included in FotS Enhanced.


Possible additions:
Further tweaks to bombardment range, could be reduced further.
Balanced bombardment points: Bombardment ability of the ships could be made more related to their firepower (i.e. Kasuga has poorer bombardment AP than Kaiten in vanilla)
Spotted one possible bug with 35 AP giving poorer results than 30 AP, need to test these before implementation.
