Crossbows vs. Longbows

Would anyone be interested in seeing that mod updated?

STR-2 seems like an interesting tweak for Slings. Oddly, could have all kinds of fun with Longbows, simulating some of what has been discussed here, by giving them STR damage as well. Dunno, sounds fun.

Too bad you couldn't Berserk the Slingers, that's just too funny an image to me.

Mmmmm, Elite Longbow, STR+0 weapon damage, 24 ammo and 2 attacks/round.
