Bows are the weapon of choice for the inhabitants of steppes, deserts, and meadows, which is

Upgrade Category: C |
Special Attacks Available:
Aimed Shot, Marksman, Master Marksman, Master Crossbowman
Description:
Crossbows are a dwarven invention and basically resemble a bow mounted horizontally on a
central post. They are propelled by tensioned sinews or mechanical springs. Crossbow-like
weapons have a tiller, a trigger, and a drawing mechanism and are fired by aiming at the
target and pulling the trigger. The string locking mechanism absorbs the strain, enabling
the marksman to take long and careful aim. Ammunition takes the form of rigid bolts with
various different attachments or, in the case of stone-bows, stone or metal balls.
