Combined Arms Stack Attack for Beyond the Sword 3.13!
NOTE: This is a beta release only! Please test and comment in this thread.
Sick of Civ4's one-on-one combat and pseudo-one-on-one stacked combat? Ever wanted TRUE combined arms interaction between your units? Dale's famous CASA Mod comes to BtS!
Instructions:
1. Download the mod. http://forums.civfanatics.com/downlo...o=file&id=8019
2. Install and select your Mods folder: ..\Sid Meiers Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\
3. Launch BtS and switch to mod StackAttack.
4. Play as you normally would.
Information:
The CASA Mod is the core of Dale's Combat Mods. Born during development of vanilla Civ4 after a discussion between the Firaxis designers and some of the alpha testers. The challenge was to create a stack-attack method similar to Call to Power's combat methods. Unfortunately due to some issues with animations it was unable to be made bug-free. But with BtS that all changes!
Concepts in CASA:
Combined Arms Stack Attack:
This concept is where all units in a stack will work together to defeat all units in an opposing stack. This means your grunts will line up with arrow/siege covering fire and flank attacks can occur with your mobile forces.
Opportunity Fire:
This concept is where your fortified/stationary siege units gain an opportunity to fire for free whenever an enemy unit moves within range (one tile away).
Active Fighter Defense:
This concept is where any patrolling fighters will defend the plot/units with them. Patrolling fighters on carriers will scramble and air-strike during naval battles, and fighters will defend their city bases against land attacks. Patrolling fighters also gain opportunity fire on enemy units within 2 plots of them.
