crossbow ammo?

[Eddy]

is there anything other than blunted bolts?

[Andrius227]

ofc, plenty

[Ouroboros]

bruh I'm still waiting for a crossbow that isn't 40k

[Dahak]

After turning on cheat mode and looking... nope. All bolt types do blunt damage right now.

It just says '0 blunt' but that doesnt affect the actual crossbow damage.

I mean, most arrow quivers say '0 pierce'. It means nothing.

Yeah it does. When using said crossbow the damage indicators all say blunt damage. The crossbows themselves say pierce, but the game seems to deal damage based on the damage type of the bolt.

1st point, blunt damage scales differently on diferent armor types.
2nd point, x bows actually only knock enemy to unconscious, they don't kill him.
Advantage: you will have lots of prisoners if you win
Disadvantage: if you lose, yours enemys army just recover to full numbers.

Yeah, sadly there are no lethal bolts at the moment. Which is a little odd. Hopefully they'll add some down the line.

Yeah i just did some testing and yeah you are right. Still i see it as a bonus, not a problem.
I was considering bows with blunted arrows, but i could not resist crossbows... They are just way too cool. But now i get the best of both.

I expect it will get patched at some point too... But oh well.

Well... While crossbows dont 'kill' they do take ppl out of the game just the same so i dont see a problem.

Because enemies knocked out that aren't taken prisoner can still roam the map and be a nuisance.

Just take everyone as prisoners no problem.

And if you get too many, release them afterwards. I dont think the game is smart enough to send them back to their old masters. It just deletes them.

Yes, plenty. Ones with tons of prisoners that I don't often take because either I don't want the speed hit or I'm already full of prisoners.
