About your crossbow question: You can lower the max_angle of crossbows in the descr_projectile.txt file. Be warned though, if you lower this too much, your crossbows won't be able to fire over the battlement, and will therefore be useless for defending cities/castles.

Can't help you with the storms.

With the changes in the descr_projectile.txt you can surely use your old savegames.

Hope this helps. See you around.

Simply put you either have them firing in a flat trajactory like a, umm crossbow, or arc like an arrow. The former option will however, as mailor said, confuse the CA engine and stop them from working on battlements. There is no good angle for both unfortuneatly.

As to storms, there is a weather_db.xml file in the data folder which controls how bad they are, don't know if it controls the frequency, as never played with that part.
