Samurai Bowman changed to use composite bow for balance reasons, despite the thematic inaccuracy- Daikyu were often described as "great war bows" and were very large. This will be changed again when equipment modding becomes possible.

That's fine for now. Thanks.

FYI, if you want to see a good example of the Daikyu in action, watch The Last Samurai (Tom Cruise). While obviously not set in the Shogunate period, the employment of the bow by both mounted and dismounted samurai is pretty well done in the movie.

Consider that a long bow could be 6 feet long though, and is made out of hardwood that I'm not sure is available in Japan.

The most notable (and common) hardwood in Japan is/was the cherry tree. Check out the following link: Official Japanese Hardwood Trees

I think you'll be surprised at the diversity.

The bane dagger bug has been fixed. It was hiding below #forestsurvival and escaped notice. Now fixed.

Once modding fire and cold resistance values below 100% becomes posible nobody will have 100% immunity. Also keep in mind that the quarterstaff, while great for attack & defense modifiers, does only 3 damage- half of even a standard broad sword. Yamabushi Monk looks great on paper, but he won't even be able to injure armored elite troops.

That's what a fire-9 blessing is for.

The Great Bow was intended for trolls and exceptional heroes (Fang, one of the troll heroes, used it before he got a lightning bow), but there is currently no one that uses it in the game.

the graphisms of your mod are excellent. I will wait for the next patch though.

congratulations, very nice work.
