    Default Arrg, stupid 16 feet Onagers

    Can someone plz, PLEASE lower the hight of them? if youve watched Gladiator, I am pretty sure u guys know what I'm talking about....
    And their range is too far, archers range is also too far i think, they are not English Longbowmen ffs.
    Its stupid that the Cretan archers fire arrows 150 meters up in the air, or 300 meters forward.

    Acctually the range is more like 150m, which is already even less than it historically was. The Cretan bow was famed for it's deadlyness and fearsome range. It could even cope with some of the best slingers, who at that time used lead bullets which could normally fired further than any bow.

    The records for composite recurve bows shooting light arrows are all 700 meters or further. You're right, these aren't English Longbows; they're better!


    Correct meif I'm wrong, but isn't messing around with the seige engines rather... thorny at times?
