Looking for a mod that lowers overall health.

July 31, 2013 1:54:38 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I love this game.  But I feel as if the battles are too long until end game where you have a larger army.  Are there any mods out there that lower overall health, or increase overall damage?  Or, barring that, a way to do it myself?

 

Thanks for the help.

You really can do this yourself. It's simply just changing numbers in the files with Notepad.

Incorporate health reduction stuff into a research item for each race (with each modifier in it a starting value).

An easier way to do this may be to go into the gameplay.constants file and say for instance, double all of the damage modifiers for each weapon type.

 

So for example if

ANTIVERYLIGHT weapons do 1.0 (basically the stated damage on the unit infocard) against a VERYLIGHT ship armor, then change that modifier to 2.0

 

Said another way, edit the damage tables defined in the gameplay.constants file

 

I don't remember exactly how the code is written, but you should only have to change one file if you want to buff the damages of all ship/structers in the game so its uniform.  It would also save you from having to go into each entity file and editing separately.

There is indeed a mod that does that, though as part of an options pack of another mod. One of the Optional Minimods of the Enhanced 4X Mod is called Faster Combat, and increases all damage by 50%. If you don't mind all of its other features that's probably the easiest way to get what you want.

Thank you everyone.  Going to try both methods and see what I like.
