Title: Add War Bow!
Post by: Miley on May 25, 2011, 08:28:43 pm
They have replaced the War Bow with a "yumi," a Japanese bow. I would really like to see the War Bow back with its original skin. I think it would be a good idea to add the original War Bow (and keep the yumi), and it can have the same stats as the yumi.

Not everyone wants a Japanese style bow. I and many others really would like the War Bow back to its original skin.

I have to say, I'm a bit surprised the yumi replaced the warbow. Yumi was quite popular on horseback, and many people believe the unusual curve of the bow was designed for ease when firing from horse. The warbow, however, cannot be used on horseback.

And before someone jumps in as says "but Yumi's were used before the introduction of horse-archery in Japan!" I'm aware. The fact remains though, they were commonly used from horseback once horse-archery became wide-spread.

If anything, why wasn't the strong-bow replaced with the yumi? I haven't ever heard of a historical bow referred to as a "strongbow." There are bows referred to as a "war bow."

Well Japanese people aren't mongol.....

If they add the Yumi bow I think it should be able to be used on horseback.

I don't see a reason why replace the War Bow with this skin instead of just adding a new Yumi bow, with the same or different stats.

It's a middle-eastern bow. Obviously the names aren't accurate, hence Khergit bow.  :P

This japanese bow was quite weak, and usually used on horseback= replace texture of khergit bow, and bring back the warbow!

How about removing all the weeaboo shit all together?  This is a medieval European game.

true becasue in japan they don't have the right wood to make really strong bows like the longbow, get the old warbow back and make the yumi bow a horseback abled bow that is stronger but slower than the strongbow. it doesn't make sence that a bow made of bamboo is stronger that a bow made of ash or some sort. got a thread about that issue:
