Spriteless arrows are bugged (Ashikaga)
 

It seems that ranged weapons without ammo sprite always hit, regarless of the range and the precision of the weapon (or its user).

Some days ago, I tried to play against some of the mods that have been done. Arena came up, and I witnessed how Ashikaga and Machaka battled. Machakas mage casted blindness to the Ashikagan Taisho Daimyo (equipped with Ashikagan bow, daikyu). After this, the blind (prec 0) Taisho Daimyo fired at his enemy, killing him (=> Hunter Spider!) and after few turns even this new form was dead. Every shot hit!

I tested daikyu by modding it to damage 200, precision -25 and range 100. I attacked independent province (lvl 9) with two Taisho Daimyos scripted to [fire x 4, retreat), and went through 4 turns of this. Every time, exactly 8 enemies died.

I returned daikyo to what it was, and added '#flyspr 109 1'. After this, the arrows didn't hit every time. I'm not sure if my Version of the Ashikaga (2.00) is latest or not, but this also affects the Modern War mod idea that was suggested.

Yes I noticed that too, when I was making cannons for the tanks and forgot to use the #flyspr-command, which I can't handle by the way. If modern war mod is ever to be made, MP40 wielding U.S soldiers will be shooting modded rocks or something... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Hmm, try
'#explspr <nbr>',
where nbr is between 10001 and 10238. 10200 is Curse, 10001-10012 is falling colors, some others are listed in the mod manual.

This might be enough, but might not. Illithids seem to only use this, but they have precision 100 anyway...

Latest Ashikaga version (2.4) does have the arrow sprites. My old version (2.0) which had the bug must have been from time before arrow sprites could be added.
