Bolts and archery training conflicts
« on: February 09, 2015, 06:05:05 pm »

So i have found that trying to train early game with wood/bone bolts and equip for combat seems to create a conflict. Archers will simply not empty out their quivers that are full of copper bolts and load them with wooden ones to archery training.  I started a new game specifically to test the archery training and i DID get it to work but only after allowing copper bolts to be used in training and damn did they go fast.

It seems like it might be that crossbowmen will NOT empty their quivers and replace them with less valuable bolts and so get stuck if a quiver is full and ammo orders conflict. Anybody know a way around this, hopefully one that doens't require intense micro

Known issue from way back. Training bolts don't work. Solution? Don't use them. Make whatever bolts you can, use them all for combat, hope the good ones end up in the bad guys and not the practice targets.

You can use an alternate training arrangement to preserve your precious bolts.
