Re: Archery poll
I thought this was a good poll, SC. Was nice to just get a rough feel for everyone's opinion about the state of missle weapons.
My only comments so far:
Slingers aren't hampered so much by damage as short range. Their range is so short that you can't even (reliably) place them behind a screen of infantry and expect them to stay there and fire, like you can with all the archer units.
Arbalests need to have thier accuracy bumped WAY up. Cause in a normal battle you will get one, maybe two volleys off if you are lucky, so you cannot waste a single bullet. I realize this is not perfectly historically accurate but I feel its necessary given the dom2 rate of fire of the arbalest.
And I wasnt sure if anyone had responded to Boron: yes, slings are effected by flaming arrows. Any missle weapon (slings, arrows, javs, ballista bolts, probably boulders??) are all effected.
