Questions and Comments About the Improved MA Ulm

[Cor2]

I like arbalests. I like having variety, even if they are not competetive with crossbowmen. I find them to be rather effective when massed. If they need a buff I suggest making them AN or upping the damage. The ROF is thematic and good so should not be tweeked.

If you read thier Wiki description sounds like they should be AN, as they often killed heavily armored knights in one shot.

Yeah, I think I am the same guy.

Cor2 - a slight buff sounds great, for example, I am always confused when I remember that arbelests only get +1 precision whereas crossbows get +2. Arbelests should get +2. And maybe make them 10 AN, or 15 AP, too, if people are convinced they are underpowered.

Arbalests are great counter archers. But I rather use shortbows up close against light infantry (who are supposed to tire your heavy infantry).

I like the sapper crossbowmen a lot. They are a bit overpriced, but they fire faster, do a lot less damage to your own guys, and have mapspeed 2... good if you are making a rapid-response defense squad.
