Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Noname - 12-08-2014
Hey guys,
I'm mostly playing archer and wanted to know whether it was possible to add bows with more than one bowstring to the game.
What do You think about it?

Something like thatRe: Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Xen - 12-08-2014
It'll be cool but I think bows like that (Compound bows) are too modern for this game.
Re: Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Noname - 12-08-2014
Well, i didn't think about adding a bow like the one in the picture, but model a new one with 2 or more bowstrings that fits the NI style

Don't really see why we would need this but if there's a model, why not.

hmmm maybe a bow that fires 2 arrows at once? maybe warden only, is it possible?

Re: Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Noname - 12-08-2014
Well, it is possible ingame (Have a look at the Einherjar Sniper; they shoot several arrows at once, similar to Odin, Jotnes and so on throwing multiple spears)
Re: Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Winter - 12-08-2014
Let me just shut down that idea here and now: Swadians will never shoot or throw multiple projectiles at once.
As far as bows with multiple strings go.... That is pretty impractical and there is no historical evidence that I could find of any such thing existing. The "strings" you see on a compound bow are actually all just one cord wrapped around pullies. You only knock the arrows on the segment farthest back. There is a variety of compound bow where the cords in the middle are separate from the "shooting string" but those are, again, compound bows, not period bows.
Re: Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Noname - 12-08-2014
Well, there is no evidence (I know) that such bows were used before already, but I just wanted to know whether this kind of bows could be implemented for their good look, not for shooting several missiles at once
Re: Bows with 2+ bowstrings - Winter - 12-08-2014
Yes, but I saw people starting to go off on that tangent. Feature Requests tend to enjoy going off topic
The compound bow is very far out of period for NI as the first few made came out in the late 1960s (yeah yeah, the first few made for testing purposes were in the early 1960s, but the patent wasn't until 1969), so I'm relatively sure it won't be added.
