I should note that the most powerful of longbows are still fearsome weapons. As Ellri says though, an archer takes a very long time to train, whereas a crossbowman can be brought to a battle effective level of skill in a fraction of the time.

The reason crossbows are considered too much here I think is that its the difference between one or two men per battlefield being able to take out a plate armoured warrior from afar, and every single ranged weapon wielder being able to take the plate armoured guy out.

If that all makes sense.

That can vary quite a bit. Crossbows generally had a smaller range of power (while all being on average stronger than bows), whereas a bow can vary considerably. The most powerful Longbows can easily pierce a thick wooden shield or even lighter plate, but such bows require both good craftsmanship and a very strong, tall archer to wield them, and are often as tall as ther wielder even when strung.

Shorter, lower quality bows range quite a bit, though the general rule is shorter bow = less power. There are exceptions based on bow design though - it can be quite a complex field.

I would personally like to see more people in Amaryth - if you're in the outer city you'll've been rounded up and kept out of the fighting by Kalesian troops.

Of course I shall understand if you choose not to go there, its a little chaotic right now.

Maybe troops that do as I will. They might die, of course.

Ok, thats fine. Just don't make them too incompetant ;)

I'll have Lord Dorian send some troops that way in my next post.

All of the above?

Malefic? Malicious? Monstrous?

I have done that only once, it was an interesting experience to say the least, and not something done all that often from what i've seen. It'll be interesting to see it in practice here, particularly whether I notice a difference in writing styles or not... But for now, I am going to bed.

On a more random note, do people want to see the pic I have for Alessia? I haven't bothered with it so far as I'd have to upload it myself (rather than my usual fare of finding something online - that proved overly difficult this time.) No its not my art (i'm a terrible artist), nor particularly stunning as far as pictures go.

This is good news. I look forward to it!

Mass Effect: Underworld

Fair enough.

I am going to be moving things and making PMs and whatnot shortly.

Does anyone actually have any military forces at the Rosetta Nebula relay right now? Because if they do, say so now. I think its been plenty of time for those that know the location to chip in and raid the base, and now its the turn of those at the relay.

I would also ask that in the future any troop movements include actual numbers. This stuff is important.

Excellent, thank you. I figured it'd be easier to grab my own post for lore rather than keep adding to Ellri's one. More clarity on NPC ownership too.

Anyway, hows the defence organisation going? I am eager to have developments in that area that I might post for Alessia some more.
