Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

How is it embarrassing? This is a wonderful thread. Afterall, I posted in it. ;)

Also it probably brought in at least few extra customers because it shows up on the front page of google when...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

I've probably forgotten and remembered Dominions 3 more than any game ever. Since Elemental War of Magic seems to be a bust so far I've been looking back at the Dom and was surprised that I actually...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

Because the one thing that we all seem to agree on - is that you seem to be turning a personal preference into historical fact, and that your approach to expressing such has a tonality that makes...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

If you mean purely technology wise yes but in usage and essential principles they are on the same line which is how they could coexist in essentially the same breath until the firearm was refined.

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

Again you keep returning to aid in the form of aiming. Aid includes things such as weapon quality and the quality of the shot of an arrow not only the "sights" as someone mentioned before. Just...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

And by this reasoning you are emotionally involved as well through your amusement. ;)





This simply cannot be possible. The mechanical aids also deal with the very function of the bow...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

Again personal skill cannot overcome mechanical disadvantages because an archer does not control his arrow in mid flight. There is only so much he can do. And relying on mechanical aid is a good...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

@endoperez and rdonj: Ah I see. Well at least I know I wasn't completely crazy and imagined the whole thing with the cave people.



Well again I doubt a medieval bow made in medieval times...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

Well looking at Thilock Dominus' list I can see how I fit parts of certain profiles, Contrarion and Agenda, made me blush a bit. But I have not done any different than any other poster sharing what...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

Well it looks like Dominions might be passing my Fantasy game test. I know several people have painted me with the "emotional crossbow crusading fanboy troll burger" (say that 5 times fast) brush...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

@Sombre

When young children are referring to "magical pebbles that grow trees" I'll hold you to what you said. How am I troll? I prefaced that factoid with an inference that I was intentionally...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

So, for example, if you were at the Battle of Hastings, and you were told to shoot over the shield wall and ensure victory for the Normans, you'd be like, "Sorry dude, I can't arc."[/QUOTE]

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

I'm not trolling because trolling is marked by a sole intent to annoy and that's not my purpose.




I was making a general statement because I didn't want to go off on specific people to cut...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

You might want to check the OP again.



Simple logic would show you that it is unlikely that longbows would be chosen because of this so called "battlefield doctrine." First of all you have to...

Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

What's up with all the LOLongbow fanboyism in these kind of games? The whole thing is just silly to me and serves no purpose.

I don't want to put anyone on the spot (and it would be mostly...
