EBF Flamers Burn Forests

Evolving Battlefields (EBF) is a series of mods that bring more fluidity to the game's combat situations. These mods are intended to improve the immersion and lore aspects of the game while making as little impact on vanilla balance as possible. The AI may not be able to take full advantage of some mods, but shouldn't shift the balance significantly.


This mod changes weapons with the trait Flame. This affects units like Chaplain, Crisis Suit, Dominion, Knight Crusader, and Immolater. Now attacks will have these additional effects:

• Remove Forest, Brush, Recaf Weed and Orkoid Fungus in the targeted tile.
  
• Adds a Burning Forrest feature that lasts for 6 turns.
  
• Adds a Flames feature that lasts for 6 turns.
  
• Adds a Smoke Screen that starts 2 turns after the flamer attack and lasts for 5 turns (ends 1 turn after the Burning Forest).

Units that stay in the tile will take a reduced flamer hit each turn. Burning forests provide roughly half the biomass and movement penalty of regular forests.

Since the smoke screen provides the same amount of ranged damage reduction as a forest, I removed it from the burning forest.

These changes to cover will be applied before the damage for the attack is resolved.

• Possible expand the burning functionality to other terrain features.
  
• Possible add an action to the appropriate units to burn tiles without opponents to attack.

I am open to feed back on whether this mod is in a good functional spot or if I should expand it.


This mod should not conflict with any mods. However there is an oddity with the Knight Crusader's heavy flamer attack, preventing it from being modified by ext. There may be conflicts with other mods that change KnightCrusader.xml. The conflict will not cause any crashes but may prevent the Knight Crusader's attacks from burning forests.

I have used the volcanic trees texture from my Gladius Recolored mod as the textures for the burning forests. If you prefer another mod's volcanic trees texture, raise it above this one in the load order.

This mod should affect weapons with the Flame trait added by other mods.
