More Ammo Mod
I was always frustrated by not having near enough ammo, while playing in sim mode, so I created this mod to allow for longer battles and more long range gunnery.
Solid shot is three times the vanilla amount, the other ammo types double. Also, ship 'turn' speeds have been increased to the Normal difficulty level so your ships should be a bit faster in Simulation mode. Although I originally created it for Sim mode, the ammo amounts will effect all modes.
Created for EIC, Privateer, and Trafalgar. I didn't touch Pirate Bay due to it's scoring.
Installation
Unzip the file, open the "More Ammo Mod" folder, copy & paste the folders within inside your main EIC installation location (ex. Program Files>Paradox Interactive>East India Company). Copy & replace all files. I suggest backing these up but you will have to find them in the vanilla install.
As a wise alternative, use the Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler since this mod is compatible with it. No need to back up the files as it will do all the work for you when enabling/disabling a mod.

Note that EIC already has a "Mods" folder so you will need to name the JSGME folder something else such as "ModsEIC" or whatever you prefer.
JSGME Install
Unzip the "More Ammo Mod" folder into the JSGME mod folder created within your EIC install location (the "ModsEIC" example above). Run JSGME as Administrator and enable the More Ammo Mod. Easy!

I've debated leaving chain and grape shot at the default level but increased it just in case. I'm also unsure of what, exactly, the value "fire_max" does but I also doubled it in line with the extra ammo types. I believe it has something to do with how much the AI fires in one go?
Any feedback is appreciated.
