This page is dedicated to understanding the game mechanics behind assassins in M2TW
The values for determining assassination success percentages can be found in the descr_campaign_db.xml file and the export_descr_character_traits.txt
descr_campaign_db.xml
You can only change the file when the game is not running otherwise the data will not compile
<assassinate_base_chance float="15"/>
- Appears to be the base percentage that a default assassin starts off with
<assassinate_attack_modifier float="1.0"/>
- This value is multiplied
<assassinate_defence_modifier float="0.0"/>
- May have something to do with defense vs attacks from other assassins or inquisitors (agents w/ability to kill)
- Changing the number seems to have no effect on assassination percentages against diplomats
<assassinate_public_modifier float="1.0"/>
- May have something to do with the public security traits that a character picks up (ex. counter-spy)
<assassinate_personal_modifier float="1.0"/>
- Refers to the personal security traits one has (ex. paranoid)
<assassinate_counter_spy_modifier float="1.0"/>
- Appears to be a straight divisor that is applied to the total once all calculations have been made
- Affects captains and generals
<assassinate_agent_modifier float="2.0"/>
- Default multiplication value that is applied to all agents (ex. diplomats)
- This value is multiplied
<assassinate_own_region_modifier float="0.7"/>
- Value that is multiplied to running total if assassination takes place in assassin's home territory (ex. if french assassin attempts to kill diplomat near Paris, then success = 0.7x)
<assassinate_assassinate_attr_modifier float="0.1"/>
- Refers to if your assassin has one of these traits
- Prototype Handgun: +1 assassination, +2 law. 33% upon agent creation if there is a gunsmith or higher in the city.
- Child Apprentice: +1 assassination. 5% chance on killing a target.
- Assassin's Blade: +1 assassination. 3% chance on killing a target.
<assassinate_chance_min int="5"/>
- Minimum chance of success
<assassinate_chance_max int="95"/>
- Maximum chance of success
Float refers to decimals
Int refers to integers
