Tower Range Nerf

Description
READ THIS FIRST:
Because I no longer have disk space to reinstall Total Warhammer, I will not be updating the mod. However, you can recreate this mod easily with a handy tool named Pack File Manager. You can get this here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/packfilemanager/files/Release/ . Please download version 4.1.2.

Open the program, and go to file -> Open CA pack -> data.pack (I think this is it, If not, someone tell me. It has been a very long time).
Next open the db section.
Under db, find the projectiles_tables.
right click projectiles_tables (Don't expand it yet) and select Extract Selected.
Save it to a location you will remember. Like C:\TWMODS.
Now go to file -> New.
Right click Untitled.pack and rename it whatever. (example, tnerf)
Right click the same thing again and go to add-> add from directory
Go to where you extracted the files, and add the db folder. Example C:\TWMODS\db.
Under tnerf it should be db. Under db should be projectiles_tables.
Expand projectiles_tables and rename the file under it (it should be projectiles by default)
Now find entries that start with wh_tower, and then navigate to the column "effective range"
Change the range values. in this mod all the wh_tower entries are at 275.
Save the pack and place it in your total warhammer's data folder and load it with the mod launcher.

IF you are planning on using other mods that change projectiles, you have one more step to do.

You need to mass select all the entries that DO NOT start with wh_tower and delete them. In PFM, that means you click to the left of the entry number so that the ENTIRE row is highlighted, and then hit Delete. You can shift click to make it easy to select many rows.

This is what the finished product should look like: http://puu.sh/soZfN.png

If you don't like how sieges play out this mod might help. I lowered tower range by 175. They still have the same damage, however you can set up artillery and your siege equipment near the borders of the map and siege out the city. Destroy a few towers before sending in the siege towers.\

How to install: Paste the .pack file into your steamapps/common/total war warhammer/data folder. And make sure there is a check mark next to "towernerf.pack" (or towernerf) in the warhammer launcher!

WARNING! This mod is not compatible with most battle mods. This is because there is no way to specify load order for your mods, so this mod tends to be overwritten by other mods. This SHOULD be compatible with any battle mod that doesn't change tower projectiles! If it isn't, then the mod creator still has vanilla values for towers and you can ask him to delete the tower projectile entries.

Changelog:
Update 3: updates for patch compatibility
Update 2: Nerfed range by another 75. Total tower range = 275.

Does this mod even work?

Please could you make a Dwarf Nerf mod?

As a fan of the lore, I really hate them having a good chance of stomping all over the Greenskins. They are supposed to be a doomed and dwindling race, albeit with very strong defenses.

I'd like to see them become about 20-25% less powerful, somehow. Thanks.

I'll be posting a version of this in a few moments, called Reduced Tower Range. Artillery tower range reduced to 300; small arms tower range reduced to 150.

@geneticsman, I have done so. Please let me know if you need help, or you can add me to steam and I can walk you through it. I plan on reinstalling the game when I can (probably when elves come out), but this should help for now.

@Captain America's Spandex, Since you can no longer update it, I would love it if you could post a guide as to how to make the mod! Would you be willing to do that? I'd greatly appreciate it! :steamhappy:

Hi guys, I don't have the hard drive space to redownload the game ATM...
For some reason steam workshop won't let me update it without the game installed. I'm sorry.
I can post a guide on how to make this mod yourself (it's very easy).
