I think they are tough to use becuase of their accuracy, but since they fire a lot they have a better chance to hit big Groups and therefore the men will gain some experience quickly to a point where they will be effective. Friendly fire is probably acceptable as most of the units in T'ien Ch'i are not something you need to worry about losing.

In one of the homepages of the cho-ku-no is speculation that indeed peasant boys were used for the weapon, but only to refill the arrow magazine.

What?

An auto-loader firing peasants ?


Sorry, couldn't resist


Downloaded the mod from Illwinter to have a look at it.
Is v0.1 the latest Version? There are some issues methinks:

Xbow attack (=prec) is 0. Unit prec is 3.
Shouldn't this be -5 and 10 resp. ??

While they are fired from a crossbow and have steel tips, they are too low-powered to be armor-piercing (in reality).
Game-wise, DAM 8AP is just too much for a weapon with lousy damage. Better make that 8 standard.

Would be nice if we could add poison damage one day ...
Maybe setting a number of attacks for a weapon will then work as well...
