In almost every circumstance with the default configuration, every officer is hitting twice. Doesn't matter if the attackers has ridiculously low AGI like 50 vs 180 - they still to pretty much always just hit twice.
I spent some time experimenting with this one:
2. After that, Agility is modified by a random percentage from a table @ 0x2f2f0. This is achieved by multiplying by a chosen value, then dividing by 256.
1926 3340 4c59 6673 8099 a6b3 c0cc e6ff
These values correspond to these percentages:
10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 100-%
3. Then, that modified value is compared with the defender's agility.
But it didnt behave as I expected. If I understand it correctly, the percentages should be increasing your chances of getting an extra attack (e.g. if the random percentage selected is 100%, you will have a greater chance of landing a subsequent attack than if it was 10%).
(By the way I am updating the newer 55xx location in all cases as it instructs not the 2f2xx in the quote)
I changed the entire table to 01 01 01 01 etc - and was surprised to see that every went berserk - hitting 6, 7 even 8 times in a row.
So then I thought ok great - FF across the board should give me the opposite. But still always two attacks. Sometimes more.
Then I thought about this one...
5. To edit the cumulative Agility penalty on successive hits, edit this:
Change 0x2f258 to whatever you want.
0x2f257 – 0B:B247:
A0 3C– LDY $#3c
(Default penalty is 60)
Seems like increasing the penalty to 255 or even 180 would pretty much eliminate all extra attacks. But seems to have no effect. Also reduced it to 01 to see if there was an observable difference - none.
I'm on to chapter 5/6 now so enemies are getting more powerful, AP is going up etc and most of the battles are just ridiculously hard - 3 guys are getting wiped out per round.
The kind of configuration I'd like to achieve with this feature is something like
80% chance of single hit
15% chance to two hit
5% chance of three hit
Anyways - not sure if its something you can assist with - partially I am just posting this to vent cause I've been down with the flu for the past week and trying to poke away at this with I can get up the energy - in a highly irritable state hehe
Edit: here's another example, Bandit Force with an AGI of 4 will currently hit my 200 AGI generals two times, consistently
