(( I'm not training a militia I'm training an army .

In time I'll use all species but for now fae are the simplest.

As for the bows, most fae have some form of claws, claws are sharp, try to pull a bowstring with it your gonna cut the string, so fae are limited to crossbows and melee weapons.
If we go about it realistically anyway. ))

((Again, wut? What's your source for this?))

[Alexandria]

(( Our fae are predominantly fox and dog types, I checked a couple days ago because I was curious about fae, orc and goblin species.

So the majority of them have claws, but no matter we have humans for bows anyway and the fae will be more use as raider style fighters.))

((One thing I don't get is how having claws would interfere with using a bow. Considering the stress bowstrings are put under when firing an arrow, I doubt a claw is going to snap it, especially since they wouldn't be trying to. Not to mention that in archery, you hold the bottom of the arrow, not the string; and with the pads of your fingers, not by the fingernail. Those Fae are perfectly capable of using bows if they have opposable thumbs.))

[Alexandria]

(( The string hits your finger a lot when you release so it'd catch the claw and be cut.

But either way I don't want bows for them ,it's no use for the role I need them to fill. ))

Bump. I don't think Taricus knows the game has started.

[Alexandria]

He does, I told him yesterday.

[Taricus]

I'm just lazy really. I'll get something up soon however.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I think it depends on if the faes' claws are sharp or not.

[Alexandria]

(( Well the fae are hunters, they ain't likely to have blunt claws when they're job is to fight. ))

Actually the Fae are "generally docile animal(s), most often birds, domesticated animals, and forest herbivores."
The fact they've later gotten a job as hunters is unlikely to effect their biology, and bows are more effective hunting weapons than claws anyway.

[Alexandria]

(( I asked for those breeds for the fae to better fit the pack dynamic that I'm going to use for the reclaimers. ))

[Harbingerjm]

... Anything else that's been changed and not mentioned we should know about?

[Alexandria]

(( Not that I know of, I only asked for changes on the reclaimer forces since they are under my command. ))

Use the drow families to start construction of a settlement in the northeast of the local area, preferably near a source of running fresh water. The buildings in the settlement for now are to consist of basic houses for the settelers, and a storage/granary for the food stocks.
