Modifying the prepare/recovery time for firing ranged weapons?
« on: June 02, 2016, 10:16:13 am »
I was hoping to alter the preparation and recovery times of crossbows and bows to go along with other weapon changes - crossbows would be fast but not as powerful, bows would be their current (honestly OP) variation, but with a lot more windup. However, I can't seem to locate the values for that anywhere. Does anyone know where they're located, if they can be edited at all?

They can do whatever the heck they want. That's why they are nobles, cause they CAN.
King Henry the IV or something had a lot of wives, most of whom he executed. Because he could.
A ton of them mass-murdered Jews and Muslims. CAUSE THEY COULD.
A roman emperor made his horse a noble, cause he could.
And I modded them all out of existence, because I could.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to change that yet.

Out of curiosity, why make crossbows faster than bows?  It seems like they'd be slower, having a more complex mechanism to draw back the string.

Opinions are great, they're like onions with pi.

The bolts are smaller, so I needed something to make up for that. (real-life bolts are tiny compared to the foot-long monsters in DF)
