ISSUE EXPERIENCED
In the scenario editor, attemping to use Modify Attribute or Change Object Attack to modify the attack of a unit that does not already possess that type of attack will give no effect. For example, giving Crossbows an attack bonus of +10 against Camels (Armor Class 30) will do nothing in-game, as the Crossbows do not deal any bonus damage to Camels. However, increasing a crossbow’s attack against spearmen (Armor Class 27) by +10 will produce the desired effect, as the Crossbow already has an attack bonus against spearmen.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
- 100% of the time (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Create a scenario in the scenario editor.
- Place a unit that is capable of attacking.
- Use either Modify Attribute or Change Object Attack to give this unit an attack bonus against a given armor class, one that it does not already possess in its base, unmodified form.
- Place a enemy unit belonging to the given armor class in step 3.
- Attack this unit using your unit. Calculate the damage and note the lack of the trigger-added bonus damage.
EXPECTED RESULT
Change Object Attack and Modify Attribute should take into account all possible types of attack, to allow for more customizable triggers and units. Without this bug, a crossbow should be able to deal its stated bonus damage to camels, or Fire Ships dealing extra damage to monks via trigger, and so on.
