Ranged Bombard for Beyond the Sword 3.13!
Return your bombarding units to REAL siege units! With Ranged Bombardment your siege units can now bombard into adjacent tiles. They can also bombard cities, units and terrain improvements.
The AI fully understands Ranged Bombardment and will use it against other players.
The BtS 3.13 version has been improved further on previous versions. Only ONE xml tag is required for ranged bombarding units, and the old method is retained. For an example in the supplied mod see Catapults (can bombard cities as per old method but cannot range bombard).
Instructions:
1. Download the mod. http://forums.civfanatics.com/downlo...o=file&id=6643
2. Install and select your Mods folder: ..\Sid Meiers Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\
3. Launch BtS and switch to mod RangedBombard.
4. Play as you normally would.
Information:
When you build siege units with the Ranged Bombard ability you will notice they will show a range of operations when selected (or a stack with a siege unit in it). This shows the range the unit can bombard cities, units or improvements. Simply click the Bombard icon and select the target tile to bombard it.
