Longer Shotguns

Beskrivning
What's the point of a gun, even a shotgun, if you have to kiss your enemy before you can fire?

In the current state, a great many 5-range weapons, those that follow the 'shotgun' accuracy template, are crippled by having optimal range of 2. Any melee unit that you shoot at without accuracy penalty is in range for a triple melee attack on you. This makes shotguns really bad, both for stopping melee and also shooting at ranged enemies.

Note: This mod does NOT give extra maximum range to shotguns. It increases the optimal range, the range before you start taking 'long range' accuracy penalties.

Long range accuracy modifier:
Range
Original
Modded
3
-15%
none
4
-30%
-20%
5
-45%
-40%

So shotguns and many weapons that share their accuracy stats should be slightly more accurate at their longer ranges, which should help them be less vulnerable against proper melees and less inferior to standard-range alternatives.


Update notes 10/03/2020:
The update broke the mod due to it changing the accuracy file to insert the new Purifier's version of the shotgun. Re-did the changes, should be the same as before.

this is pretty good. but i think it needs a buff. shotguns should have 2 volleys. and add range 6 with 10% hit chance

As the others said, it's very much appreciated to see an actual explanation of the mod. This trend of mods having barely sensible names and no description is a plague.

thanks for the table. that helps put things into perspective. I never noticed the range problem but i ALWAYS take deadeye one everyone because i hate not hitting. that might mitigate this issue for me.

Im glad to see not only the exact number comparisons here but also that there is someone with mod devving capabilities (not just for this game but for any game really) who doesn't respond to a broken feature by breaking it in the other direction (ie making shotguns sniper rifle esque to fix the issues here) Sometimes I think that Im the only person who wants actual balance rather than being op in a game, although admittedly Im currently fighting my own laziness to learn enough about code to start modding some of that stuff myself.

TLDR good job, like that you showed the exact numbers and made the change only as big as needed.
