No that would nerf the arbalest even more than it already is
Hey, let's add a new bow, let's call it siege longbow, let's make it require 5 PD, take 1 slot, but make it 5 times more accurate, more damaging, and more fast.
This will not nerf other bows in any way.
make it 4 slots 8-)
Noone played with crossbows earlier, because it was considered boring and lame.
But then the looms and market was introduced, and the mood somehow changed.
The supremacy of crossbows over bows is historicaly correct, no arguing there.
However it makes throwing and archery look silly and inefficient.
I think crpg would be more fun without crossbows, but adding 1 more doesnt really change the status quo.
Should be a really big one, stationary once deployed. Maybe use a horseslot?
