Does Archers have unlimited ammo?

[Tiwaz]

If so I can see this leed into alot of cheese. i would strongly suggest limiting ammo as this would be more realistic also

[PunishedBacon]

After hearing one of the youtuber said "The Archers have unlimited ammo" That means yes

[datCookie]

It's quite possibly a temporary thing, with the overall system not being complete or implemented as of yet. I would be surprised if they remained this way

Agree, adding limited arrow would make the game more balance and realistic

[von Langen]

Of course, ammunition will be limited. Moreover, there won’t even be torches in the game (thank the gods, because this is a really stupid movie stereotype!). It's only a matter of time before the developer fine-tunes the combat system.

I also hope that there won't be fire arrows in field battles, because that's also a cliché. Incendiary shells were used only during a siege to set fire to buildings, but not against people.

Fire arrows in a game isn't a problem. It doesn't have to go all out realism. Fire arrows are fun.

Stay at your place.

If i as ruler of my army if i want to use fking flame arrows or anything else even if it's uncommon or scarce or stupid or not optimal i should be allowed to do it second doesn't mean it's impossible to use or that it never happenned in history either.

Second imagine being such crybaby that you care about "cliché" .

Ofcourse it dont have to go all out realism. But a litle mix of realism and balance would go a long way. Im not sure how many arrows a archer could carry, an army could probably bring many on carts. But having thousands of arrows would also be expensive. There should atleast be some drawback to using archers, and not just enormous benefits

“Stay at your place” yourself, ignoramus.
Incendiary arrows only by the laws of physics make their use in field battles extremely ineffective, not to mention the fact that there are simply no authentic sources that they were used in battles. If you like stupid fantasy gags like fire arrows, huge two-handed swords and other nonsense - play something else, you little “not-a-crybaby.”

It’s strange that you don’t care about the fact that in the game they generally don’t shoot bows correctly.

I think (hope) that the shooting/battle animations will also be changed during Early Access. At the moment there is already a lot of work, and there are more priority tasks.

Normally I'd agree, but the stated goal of this game is historical authenticity. Arguably, why should I not be able to field armies in the tens of thousands? A magnificent legion of 50,000, clad head to toe in uniform plate armor. I should be able to, right? Well no, because offering me such an option would be contrary to the spirit of the game.

At the same time...

Fire arrows were in fact used, on occasion. Not commonly, but it did happen. They were useful for encouraging the enemy to abandon their shields. Usually they were special arrows or bolts, though, not just arrows that touched a random torch and magically caught fire.

You're right, though, the vast majority of the time they were used to set infrastructure alight during sieges, so I don't think it's really necessary to implement them for field battles here.

I want nuclear arrows

[Flash Point]

I highly doubt there is enough content to cheese something

[Rigor Mortis]

its singleplayer and the AI probaly realy stupid in this game
