Thematic Archery Rebalance RMT Trajectories

Works with ToD -see changelog.
Buffs/nerfs factions missile/ranged troops based on a generous view of the lore to give each race more personality and a distinct battle profile.

Super lightweight and compatible easily over-written by your favourite edits/mods.
No artillery or legendary Lords at all. Just missile troops.
Changes are not perfectly fair, but have had thought put into them, factions famous for range combat benefit, others minorly nerfed.
Little effect on auto resolve, I wager.



This version, has the tremendous Realistic Missile Trajectories' exact edits duplicated, so bows have reduced trajectory in addition to crossbows.

The standard version of TAR, that makes these changes, and inspired by RMT, makes some edits to missile trajectories - In that Crossbows are less able to fire in arcs over heads of troops. Makes no changes at all to other weapons trajectories.

TAR-Default is this mod but with NO trajectory edits whatsoever.




Only modifies projectiles_tables and TAR is specifically written so that it is easily over-wrote by other mods. So if you like its general changes, but fancy using some neat mods that buff/nerf a specific faction or perhaps specialise in guns like Sneks' BGP&E then you can!

Doesn't touch land_units or ammo, or accuracy, or anywhere else, nor have any errant entries that aren't specific to the mods purpose(foot troops).

Save game compatible. Safe to remove.

Mod tweaks some behind the scenes stats to achieve its effects beautifully covered in Zerkovich's great video, but here's a rough summary.

• Range ='s Furthest range you can shoot.
  
• Calibration Distance ='s Range you are really effective in, not just hit.
  
• Calibration Area ='s Spread. So smaller the better.
  
• Muzzle Velocity =s Projectile Speed
  
• Vegetation ='s How long your projectile has "free passage" before forests block it.

Vegetation
It is REALLY out of whack and inconsistent in vanilla, has a been 'normalised' to roughy half a second(0.5) here. Meaning missile troops in general are much less effective firing into or out of forests, as they should be!
Guns penetrate more, about 0.7 sec, beastmen 0.8, Wood Elves 1.1 as examples.
THIS RMT version means ranged faction all get a slight nerf in their edited trajectories.

So here's what the mod does, by faction. BENEFITS are in BOLD negatives in normal font. In rough order of most benefitted to least. Most RoR's are tweaked to benefit slightly vs their regular counterparts.

Said in lore to hit a target with pinpoint accuracy through the mazy branches of Athel Loren
Calibration Distance is now 90% of range. 1.1 sec Vegetation penetration time

Eons of Practice and top tier discipline.
+5 Range to all, except Sentinel. Reload times reduced by 1 second.
0.56 Vegetation time for most units, Avelorn related, Agents and RoR's = 0.67.

Get in close and execute.
10% better calibration area.
+1 missile dmg (normal)
+1 AP dmg (RoR's)
+9% AP dmg (agents)
0.5 Vegetation time for most units, Agents and RoR's = 0.55.

Precision Enginering, not so good in forests. NO changes to 'flame throwers'.
+5 Calibration Distance
-1 Calibration Area
Vegetaion 0.5 ~ 0.6(rangers) 0.63 (agents).

Working in harmony to reload faster, small area nerf bypassble by shooting at appropriate range
-1 reload time
+1 calib area ( guns)
Range -5 (Bows/Crossbows)
Vegetation 0.45 ~ 0.7 (guns)

Tried to represent a stoic, measured nature, but little used to forest combat.
+5 Range
+10 Calibration Distance
+1 reload time
+0.5 Calibration Area
0.45 Vegeation (guns) 0.35 (bows)

Plentiful gun powder for the bang bang!
+5 muzzle velocity
+1ap dmg for hand cannons
Vegetation = 0.58

Guns more effective within range, greater spread at distance
+5 calibration distance (guns)
+1 calibration area (guns) but only +0.8 for Agents & RoR's
Vegetation 0.5 ~hunters 0.6 ~bullets 0.75

Ferocious but undisciplined. Very minor tweak
+10% muzzle velocity.
+10% Calibration area.
Vegetaion = 0.42

Slightly odd that terradon riders had same range as foot soldiers despite height
+5 range, all Terradon Riders
Vegetation = 0.69

Poorer engineering than dwarfs, but tiny nerf effectively. NO changes to 'warpfire throwers'.
+1 Calibration area for NONE RoR units.
Vegetation 0.2 Throwing Stars, 0.25 slings, 0.42 guns.

Underfed-peasants lack strength to draw a bow, but mass fire
Foot peasants +1 vs infantry
Foot peasants -10 range
Foot peasants -10% muzzle velocity
Vegetation = 0.5

Good in forests, marksmanship decrease is very minor effect -1 from 30 isn't much.
Vegetation = 0.8
Markmanship -1

Slightly worse spread, strength without precision
+ 10% calibration Spread
Vegetation = 0.42

Unacustomed to forest combat, minor marksmanship reduction.
-1 markmanship
Vegetation 0.25 skelis, 0.6 Ushbati

Not craftsmen just using the stuff they loot,
-5 Muzzle Velocity.
Vegetation = 0.4 (pistols) 0.5 (others)

Wanted to reign the efficiency of goblin arrow spam somewhat, and reflect poor tech.
+5 range orcs
+5 range arachnaroks
- 5 calibration distance, all.
-1 dmg Only the very basic goblin bow.
Vegetation = 0.47

Daemons of Chaos, Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Vampire Counts: NO EFFECT
Feedback and thoughts welcome, I am especially not familiar with all the RoR's.
