I am trying to increase the attack speed and damage done by mirkwood archers. Here is my code:

End
End

Order doesn't matter.
You cannot create your own ranged weapons in map.ini. You will have to use an already-existing ranged weapon (ie. not SuperBow, maybe an obsolete one) and modify the projectile in the map.ini file with a spawn weapon upon collision module to create a NEW ranged warhead (SuperBowWarhead, for instance).

AddModule
  Behavior = FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior ModuleTag_DIELIKETHIS
	StartsActive = Yes
	DeathWeapon = SuperBowWarhead
  End
  End

Thanks Puppeteer, but that still did not work. I added it under GoodFactionArrow. The damage was still the same as before. This was the code I added.

CODE

Object GoodFactionArrow

AddModule ModuleTag_SuperBowWarheadCreate
Behavior = FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior ModuleTag_DIELIKETHIS
StartsActive = Yes
DeathWeapon = SuperBowWarhead
End
End
End

[Puppeteer]

That is because in the Object GoodFactionArrow's ini, it has this code

Behavior = BezierProjectileBehavior ModuleTag_04
; To tweak a Bezier path
;  DetonateCallsKill = Yes
	FirstHeight = 9; Height of Bezier control points above highest intervening terrain
	SecondHeight = 9
	FirstPercentIndent = 20%; Percentage of shot distance control points are placed
	SecondPercentIndent = 90%
	FlightPathAdjustDistPerSecond = 50; Can allow a max speed this can attempt to follow a target. Units are their velocity we can tag. (45 is default human speed)
	GroundHitFX = FX_GondorArrowDeath
	CurveFlattenMinDist = 100.0
  End

See how the DetonateCallsKill has a ; before it? Replace this module, but remove the ; ie.

ReplaceModule ModuleTag_04
  Behavior = BezierProjectileBehavior ModuleTag_04_Override
	DetonateCallsKill = Yes
	FirstHeight = 9
	SecondHeight = 9
	FirstPercentIndent = 20%
	SecondPercentIndent = 90%
	FlightPathAdjustDistPerSecond = 50
	GroundHitFX = FX_GondorArrowDeath
	CurveFlattenMinDist = 100.0
  End
 End

Forgot about that...

and that bow creates the GoodFactionArrow and the ElvenMirkwoodArcherBowWarhead

Good, leave the original weapon's name and warhead modules untouched - the rest of the code can be edited.

By the way, when you've sorted this, you might want to find an obscure/obsolete weapon, because GoodFactionArrow is used by so many units - eg. the BFME1 Haradrim Lancers have their weapons still left in.
