Bowmen

[Rumpletumpskin]

i noticed that crossbowmen fire their missiles in the same way as longbowmen, in an arch that can fire over walls. since this is so is their any reason to take the english only for their longbowmen since merc crossbowmen can take their place? it also looks like merc crossbowmen do more damage. just wondering because its the only reason i would choose the english over the danes.

Hi Rumpletumpskin,

Well, the advantage of Longbowmen is the higher range. Crossbowmen have a range of 160 whereas longbowmen have 180.
Also longbowmen have the Bodkin arrow that pierces armor, too.
Nevertheless, I've just checked the mercenary crossbowmen stats and they have really a pretty high attack value.
As I mentioned somewhere else, I want to make unit stats and costs more realistic for the next update , so I'll consider this!
