Victoria 3 1.5 Beta Hidden Unit Combat Modifiers

Hello from our Victoria 3 1.5 Beta Hidden Unit Combat Modifiers guide. This guide simply lists what the combat modifiers are for each unit so as to make up for the missing tool tips. Note that with any beta update, these combat modifiers may be changed and may cause this guide to become outdated.

This is the guide Kaiser it was created by. You can find the author’s link at the end of the guide.

Victoria 3 1.5 Beta Hidden Unit Combat Modifiers

Welcome to our Victoria 3 1.5 Beta Hidden Unit Combat Modifiers guide. Beta 1.5 brought three new unit type groups for armies: infantry, artillery, and cavalry. Due to being in beta, tool tips for these units have not yet been implemented into the game, but each unit already does have its own unique battle modifiers in effect. This makes your army composition important in 1.5.

*The morale loss and kill rate combat modifiers for shrapnel artillery oddly are listed in the script under the “upkeep_modifier” modifier instead of the “battle_modifier” modifier. I’ve not tested to confirm, but because “unit_morale_loss_add” and “unit_kill_rate_add” are unlikely to be valid when used under “upkeep_modifier”, it’s inversely likely that shrapnel artillery will not have a value for morale loss and kill rate in combat.

Be wary of this as this may adversely impact army compositions using shrapnel artillery.
