It looks like I've figured out some mediocre values which work. I've "fixed" normal bolts and arrows too, so right now bronze bolts pierce bronze armor while bronze arrows do not.

At least ranged weapons are deadly again, so you will need a shield. Makes sense to me .

I will add kobolds' subraces and update it to .05 with ranged damage fix.

Hey, are your kobolds like vanilla ones, or are they reptilian?

[Deon]

- 0.5 is out, I've decided that the archery change is good enough for a new release.

- Osmans, dusk elves and sylvan elves use better arrows.
- Bolts have a chance to pierce armor of the same material (usually happens when you hit arms though).
- Sylvan elves use Ironwood which is good for weapons and armor. And their singing arrows are outright deadly if you have no shield. Fear the elves hehe.

Kobolds are vanilla and I will make them into two tribes, evil kobolds with macabre weaponry and "neutral" kobolds (based on cutebolds) with bug-related stuff. Boggarts and Kobolds.

Reptilians will have their own niche.

[Deon]

Sorry, a small fix .05b. I tried spears and pikes and they do not work in .05 against armor, so I've made similar fixes I've made for arrows and now you can use the spears and pikes to fight armored enemies. Please redownload .

Wow, this is one of the few mods that has actually piqued my interest, considering I usually try to stay as vanilla as possible, with my own little mini-mods.

[Deon]

Thank you. I try not to make it too non-vanilla (well, iron using elves are uncommon but still). Thank you.

Spears and pikes need some more testing. Maybe they are not too effective right now, I mean bronze pike vs bronze armor, but I am afraid to pimp them too much to avoid uberweapons. So some feedback or opinions would be nice.

[Polymorph]

I noticed that gelatinous cubes can actually hold their own against a bronze colossus, eventually making them unable to stand or grasp. Not that I've tested any actual weapons against them, but the only way the bronze colossus could kill it was through slamming it into an obstacle. I will test swords against them some other time, but for now it seems they are way too resilient against blunt attacks in my opinion.

[Deon]

Yeah, there's the problem with being unable to kill non-living things in this version. Too realistic .

Unless you explode them.

Also severonbreaks and similar damages are broken now. There's a certain state of damage to a bodypart after which it cannot be damaged further NOR CHOPPED OFF. So a fully damaged bronze colossus cannot be killed by chopping. Toady should fix it at some point, right now cubes are just crawling masses of acidic ooze which you shouldn't touch .

[Deon]

OK, elves use Ironwood AND other wood types. I should try to limit them to good biomes only to see if it makes them unable to use other types of wood.

[Deon]

005c is out.

Sylvan arrows are able to tear through clothing now. Also they have a pushback effect (they make creatures fly in an opposite direction). Armor still saves.

[Acanthus117]

How did you do that?! 

[Deon]

A huge velocity makes all the absorbed power to be transferred into momentum. At least it's how it looks like (like you hit them with hammers).

[Acanthus117]

Cool! DL'ing now.

[Deon]

They do not work against armor though, so it's going to stay like that until we have a penetration thingie fixed. Still they are able to shoot civillians now, better than nothing (in vanilla ).

[Acanthus117]

Hey, do Sylvans all use Ironwood, or wood? Is there a tag that can change that?
