Additions

image
  • Adds an opt-out option Require marker for off-map artillery
    • when ON (default ON): same as before
    • when OFF: you'll be able to use off-map artillery without markers with accuracy penalty, just like in-map artillery

Reasoning

Felt weird that you can bombard other base with artillery, but cannot when your pawns are raiding said base. I think player should be able to bomb the enemy base even if there's friendlies in it (if you're willing to risk friendly fire) totally not because i got annoyed forgetting to bring radio pack binoculars for Nth time

Alternatives

add optional slider for inaccuracy modifier? but it works in this form and it's as simple as it can get

Testing

Check tests you have performed:

  • Compiles without warnings
  • Game runs without errors
  • Playtested a quick dev playthrough, and confirmed both with-binoculars and without-binoculars work normally.
20260802132956_1 used for testing: 9 105mm howitzers 20260802133145_1 targetting works without binoculars and radio pack 20260802133348_1 notice the inaccuracy (targetted: base structure) 20260802134009_1 binoculars work normally
