I'm getting a Divided by zero error or something

I'd be half temped to update this mod myself, as it shouldn't require much alteration. Just change/add a few values, but the last time I looked at it I couldn't make much sense out of the file and don't have to time to learn the scripting language.

Anybody with a little time or knowledge shouldn't have any trouble updating this mod.

needed for rising tide so badly

would love to see this updated for RT, it's incredibly useful

Does this work with RT?

does the range boost apply to orbitals as well? if it doesn't could you add the orbital units to the mod? also, is this mod compatible with rising tide?

Updated game seems more interesting now, a little tougher, which is good. Please update the mod if you can, was and is greatly appreciated!!!

Ashman, the balance isn't exact but it is the best of the series since the new programmers took over. I'm finding RIsing Tide to be a pleasure to play and very additive. Demo must not havent given it justice, though Im playing on sputnick lvl lol

I might pickup Rising Tide if it gets a solid balance/AI patch, and it goes on sale. Just tried the demo and was still unimpressed. Still hyped that people are using my mod, and I've thought of making more changes to BE than just range units!

Any plans to update this to include Riseing Tide units?

Honestly I haven't played, or modded BE in awhile. I may come back to it if the upcomming balance patch, and Civ Bert vastly improves the core game experience.

i was wondering is you could do somthing for the air units, bc as Calippya says they are wonderousley underpowered even at the higher levels. If you could give them a range boost or attack boost or someting that would tremendously help with city defense

I was thinking this that it'd be more helpful for the AI since I spam posiden or dreadnoughts and can litterally destoy a city in one turn even at 120 def, and than roll a redeemer into it no problem. even when the city is 3 tiles inland. hehe stupid coms use airplanes... which suck at all levels.

I've always thought of city attack to be similar to static defenses in RTS games. They prevent rushes and allow your military units to wander around without babysitting your base. Other than throwing countless melee to short range units; like infantry, grunts, or zealots, you could out range the base defenses to take them out. If you're worried about siege weapons outranging your defenses, you need to counter them with fast moving units, or deploy similar siege weapons. Rovers, Aircraft, Artillery, or Ships would do the job in taking out enemy siege.

the only issue i see with this is that the tier 4 ships also get a range boost so they would have a range of 4, which is pretty realistic with todays missle cruisers, but cities can only attack 2 spaces away so maybe make cities have a bigger attack range?

Hello, could you please post link for external download?

Thank you, a great mod, was so annoying seeing hi-tech units off to a new star system and then.... no wait, we have a range of an archer.... What!

Maybe they reduced the range in BE because the gravity is stronger in Planet hehe.

Makes sense, in Civ5 units could fire 3 spaces at the industrial age. How would industrial era tech be better than the tech sent to another planet?

This mod helps alot,Great mod!

Much better.

i hate short range rockets i mean gunners have less range than archers did in civiliztion V

this is too OP now it was better when it was just missiles

Uhhhh But they are allready storng in their own rights, I do believe they can handle to get close.
(Have not tried the new update)

I've updated the mod to include the crowd favorites SABR, LEV Destroyers, and ships! Let me know if there are any major balance issues.

why LEV Destroyer

A warning for those who use both mods: This mod can conflict with the Enhanced Promotions mod. It is possible to upgrade yor siege units enough that their range 'wraps around' again to only 1 tile, making them useless.

good

I second what Lanancuras said :
SABR needs at lest one range upgrade too then, else balance issues!

Very very nice

nice

very nice

Have you taken the Supremacy (Prime) SABR into account? In vanilla Beyond Earth it is the siege unit with the longest range, but if you'd give Minotaurs and Devastators the same range as a Prime SABR you could ruin the balance.

Siege units already get +10% up each tier, and you can even pick perks that increase this bonus. As for damage, they are on par with rangers but need to set up before firing, and I believe they have a lower strength value so they are easy to dunk with soldiers or rovers if you can get them close enough. One thing I did notice in a AI game is that they will happily use the improved range, but still park them 2 tiles away from a city when attacking it. I may have to tweak the AI. I'm playing a Supremacy game (Though Evolve Alpha is taking all my time!) so I can see if the later supremacy ranged units need a range increase. I think I'm going to buff the LEV Destroyer with +1 range since it is a giantic floating battleship (But not the LEV Tank), and increase the range on the Tier 2 Cruiser by +1.

to help balance the mod, the units will probably need to be reduced in strength but compensated with a +% to attacking cities like they eventually did with siege weapons in civ5

Which mods are you using Action Bastard?

Does not work for me. Likely a conflict with other mods.

This looks cool

@egyptndrgn There is also a unit that can get a range of four. It is a supremecy unique unit.

Anyone here find siege units usless in general? I just make some phasal transporters and use them for one turn over an enemy city ( You do need the enemy to be somewhat close by) and then warp all your most powerful melee units. I was playing on Gemni (Or however it is spelt) and it was a piece of cake. I even let one of the Ai's to prosper for 300 turns before crushing them into paste!

And that was my orignal thinking Strategia, that and the fact that rangers had the same attack power early on that is was pointless to field missle rovers! I'm still looking into more feedback as to how the AI handles it, although from what I've played so far it seems pretty timid. That and Firaxis still hasn't correctly balanced AI with the 1UPT (One Unit Per Tile) combat rules. I'm still looking into the later tier siege units, Affinity units (Maybe the destroyers but not the LEV tanks on the purity side) and trying to decide when to increase the range of naval units, possibly tier 2 or 3. Once I start increasing the range on units other than siege I may rename this mod. I'm also above 1,000 subscribers which is pretty exciting to me!

Finally, these things become useful. I was just in a game where the AI stacked a bunch of defensive buildings on its cities to bring them up to 70-80+ strength, making it impossible to attack them until I got enough Purity points to get my Wardens to range 3. Until then, anything that strayed within the city's range just got pasted instantly. It's even worse than Catapults in V, at least those things can generally survive one or two hits.

Thanks for the reminder Kickstart, I'll have to look into Affinity Specific Units at a later time. Indirect Fire may need some tweaking, as I think it's a nice game mechanic for line of sight, and gives the player something to think about when mobilizing their army. Maybe I'll tie it into the tier 3 or 4 upgrades if I can, but then I'll have to replace the perks with something else.

Could you do this to ships too ? :O

good now i can target them mofo worms better!

Whats with the Special Units with attack Range from the 3 Affinitys? Like the walking Robots. Will they get also +1 Range? If not this Mod maybe unbalance the whole Game.
What i really wanna have is a Mod that dissable the Range Malus from Hills or Woods for Range Units. - Thats so annyoing. I have Sci-Fi Units but they cant shoot through / over Hills or Mountains.

I did note one or two units with 3 range, but didn't pay attention to any other buffs or potential upgrades, but still like the idea of a basic ranged unit having the farther reach.

I like this Good Job, becuase when I first played a few games unmodded I always thought to myself why don't I have better range...it is future tech..

I'll have to do more looking into how this mod plays out in the mid to late game. But as of right now all tiers should be getting range 3 at tier 1,2 and 3. Harmony gets a range of 4 right off the bat with their tier 4. Purity can select the +1 range when not moving perk. Having 5 range siege units might be terrifying!

I may also look into range increases for ships as well, but not at tier 1.

Not a bad idea. I haven't finished a game yet, so I didn't know if that was an upgrade later or not.

As an idea, maybe do it for the third and fourth tier upgrades to the missile rover? Keeps it a bit more in line with the progression from Civ V from catapults to artillery and rocket launchers...
