feeling from an archer about this patch :
imo it's a bit to much ... i guess devs were sad to have nothing more to nerf so they buffed again some stuff to nerf them in near future...
after 2 years of nerfing it look like devs dont remember how to buff something so they buff to much ...
buff missile speed for bows was far enough.
+ missile speed increased for bows (it was time.... better missile speed = less ghost arrows)
+ first bows are not useless anymore... same for arrows
+ buff long maul
+ nudge for all
- no brain infantries will cry to much...
- buff xbows = stupidity...
- military hammer and war hammer was op so why buff more ?
- increase speed rating and damage on xbows when pretty all xbows reload like a bow... no logic...
- better missile speed on light bows than heavy bows...got a better speed rating look logic but not for the missile speed, they are suposed to be more powerful
to devs when you think at buff archery, why you dont take time to ask to some old archers how to buff it ?
i bet you will have to nerf archery again ...
