Which attribute number to use to change the frame delay?

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion
1

We know that attribute number 100 modifies resource costs as a whole, attribute number 0 modifies hit points. I want to modify frame delay of Cavalry Archers in my mod when Parthian Tactics is researched. Does anyone know the attribute number?

Since many attribute numbers are unnamed (just like armor classes after 30), it’s quite confusing to guess.

no such attribute exists is my guess since there isn’t a tech similar to that

Before the DE, all of us thought that train locations are also unchangeable by techs. Well, look at attribute number 44 now. Playing in full tech tree mode, modifies the train button of Slingers for Incas, Huskarls for Goths, Tarkans for Huns and Steppe Lancers.

Second point, I just checked the scenario editor, under the column modify attribute. All thr options available in Genie Editor are given, along with the two I mentioned above. So I certainly think it’s possible.

Not all of these apply to DE, but most of these do. In your specific case, frame delay is 41.
