Bows and Crossbows

[EchoSnake]

Am I the only one who thinks there should be bows and crossbows in overgrowth. They should not be overpowered but they would be awesome!

To be fair, Crossbows come up a bit less (For good reason).

crossbows....... got an idea

Ahhh it isn't the most original of ideas but a crossbow would definitely suit the Dog race. Think of it, it's more advanced military tech that doesn't require a lot of training. I don't know just something about an armoured crossbowdog seems to make sense for me.

Bows on the other hand could be incorporated interestingly if they were to be used as a sort short to medium ranged, rapid fire weapon. The style first used by ancient Syrian archers for example, where the bowmen holds the arrows in his draw hand and knocks them on the right side of his bow. He could fire extremely fast and be just as mobile as anyone else using a weapon?

I don't know, just thought it would be an interesting idea to give that tech to one of the swifter races in Overgrowth.

david if you are watching this thread and you are making plans for implementing bows pleeeaaaasee implement bows the right way.

How about a way to counter an arrow/bolt with some good timing. You can either deflect or catch it!

i think a Sling would much more suit the overall art and style.. could you imagine a rabbit wall running while swinging a sling around? omg
or a bola, that rope with 2 stones at each end to trip you up.
