But yeah.....Working on it. Was determined one of the easy ways we can make combat, hunting, raiding, defending & the likes more fun.

Indeed. Arcing arrows seems like a lot of fun but is not exactly trivial. Not to mention draw times, distance shots, accuracy, quivers, &c&c

Because when is the last time you saw somebody shoot a gun up and over something?

Instead of giving pilgrims bow and arrow- why don't you create a true second class citizen- Indians!?

Indians could have their witch doctors, etc...

Give them some hunting/foraging perks...as well as multiple personal ports (Indians to migrate a lot) but cut them at the knees for everything else, etc...

They be the ultimate Raider type... imo... but unable to really grow and evolve without a permanent claim.

Pilgrims don't need bow and arrow... it's a step back vs forward for the 'Settler'...

Yes instead of implementing a new weapon. Why not a new faction. If only you were here a few hours ago before I started on this fools' errand.

For one most walls are smaller than the player modle. Bow and arrow makes zero sense in this game. Why force people to use bows when they would be using guns. It doesn't fit the theme at all. Why not make a watch tower building to shoot from or let us make slots in walls to fire from. There are many cool and interesting things you can do instead of making ppl step back in tech for no reason
