Author Topic: Is it possible to remove goblin's ability to use ranged weapons?  (Read 603 times)

I'm getting sick of elite goblins shooting through my fortifications and was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to prevent goblins from having access to bows and crossbows.  I didn't find any relevant results in the WIKI about it.  Thanks for any suggestions!

Oh I forgot, you have to remove these texts under the EVIL entity entries.

if you want to remove ranged weapons for other civs, they are under:
MOUNTAIN entity = dwarves
FOREST entity = elves
PLAINS = humans
EVIL = goblins
SKULKING = kobolds

Cage traps do it pretty well.  So does introducing them to forest titans.  Or HFS.

Why not do it legit and set up a convoluted Dwarven method of breaking their hands with hammers before letting them in the range? Easier methods include dropping them from a crippling height to hinder their shooting ability, or just taking away their toys.
EDIT: wait, is this for live training or combat?
