Shooting incurs no fatigue?

[Dedas]

Well, if you pray in your armor you get tired - hard to do all the kneeling and stuff.

Actually, firing bows can be extraordinarily stressful. For example, the English Longbow is estimated to have 150-200 lb. of pressure, meaning firing it is like lifting that much weight with one arm. Archaelogy digs have found archer skeletons with deformed soldiers.

Obviously, these are the extreme examples, but Dominions does have longbowmen, and lesser bows are still going to have a large amount of pressure.

Those English longbowmen were trained to the bow from since they were little kids and the kind of damage and deformation we're talking about came about through a lifetime of such stress on the body.

People who are trained as the kind of archers we're talking about here would be able to fire the amount of arrows as specified in Dom3 as bow ammo would not get appreciably tired compared to people swinging swords and bashing each other about in melee, so the 0 fatigue approximation for shooting sounds right to me.

I would agree... if not zero the fatique should be like one, and the crossbows left at zero. The change would be so small it's not worth the time. I've never seen or heard of anyone feeling even slightly fatiqued after shooting 12 arrows or less.

Perhaps keep firing @ zero, but make melee fatigue really high, owing to their lack of melee training/conditioning.
