More defense/offence bonuses = more variety & realism!!

[Kurtisb]

Alright, as of around 9:00 this morning (East USA Time), I have been adding and editing unit offence/defence bonuses/penaltys.
It was initially based around my favorite unit: Men-at-Arms.

Anyway, here is the code from my bonuses.ini file. It has been changed far beyond all recognition. :)

(I left some stuff out keep this post under 10,000 characters)

Look carefully to see the actual effects.

Any feedback and especially ideas would be most appreciated.

[IWM]

Wow, taht's cool. How long you do that?

[Doux]

You have to play a huge amount of battles to feel/see f.i. 'MediumArmor = 4m' (that's 4% chance!). So much work and so few reward.. I modded it as well, but kept it to the main bonuses like camels slaughtering horses. In addition, I don't think all those extra bonuses for offense vs. no defence (no/light armour) are necessary, since they're implemented through the chances system already (no defence equals, probably, almost no percent chance to counter an attack).

But anyway, great job!

[Kurtisb]

Thanks for the replies! :)

@ Doux: I wasn't 100% certain what the values were calculated as, so I kept them relatively low. I'm going to redo them after I post this.

@ Indonesia War Minister: It was gradual, over the course of about 6 or 7 hours. I was so hooked on adding/changing bonuses that I rarely played KoH during that time.

[IWM]

wow! If I do that, I would just sleep out of boredom (which explain why me can't never mod good)

[Kurtisb]

Well, I can't mod for that long either... except that I was wearing an ADHD patch. :)
