Bows: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:51, 11 August 2012

Bows is a Martial Ability. Note that it doesn't cover the use of a crossbow. The availability of bows is dependent on your saga, but historically only short bows are available throughout nearly all of Europe in the canonical time period.

Longbows

Effective use of the longbow requires extensive and regular training, and a large trained populace was not available until the edicts of the English monarchs that encouraged and required such training were brought to bear, starting at the late 13th century.
