Hi, new to the mod and loving it so far. I was playing a game with my friend playing the Imperial Guard, and I had a random thought while watching his Basilisks rain down hell from afar - wouldn't it be neat for artillery to have an increased range when on higher ground, and decreased range/LOS on lower ground? It would add a touch of realism and tactical importance to areas of high ground other than the "heavy cover-light cover-negative cover" effects. It could even apply to infantry, or height could affect line of sight too, for snipers or ranged support. It might be a little hard to implement, not even sure if range is something that can be changed dynamically based on position, but just something I'd put forth and see what people think. |

Sounds epic, but I'm sure this is something that would be needed in the game engine first, i don't think unit height is much considered in the current game. -- Ummm.... |
