You will want to fix ''platemail'' to ''plate'', as platemail doesn't actually mean anything except exist as a confusing term that could reference either plate or mail. While comparison shows that on this thread, it refers to plate, it's a habit worth breaking.

The game refers to platebodies as platemail and really it's just a term for plated mail. Furthermore, referring to it as plate seems like it would be more confusing. As to the above comment, EOC crossbows are pretty much still repeating crossbows, so there's not much need to update things here. Even heavy crossbows are still considered repeating crossbows.

Bump. Even if Razia won't consider this a guide, I still believe it to be so. ¸¤·.¸.·¤´˜¨Live and let Die¨˜´¤·.¸.·¤¸

Just a little input, and I could be wrong on this but:

It may be worth noting that using a crossbow is easier to learn then say a bow, as it takes far less training to use a crossbow (from my very basic understanding, you wind it back, place a bolt, aim, and shoot) but I could be wrong. Just something you may want to add in for characters who are looking for a novice ranged weapon.

Weren't repeating crossbows more evident in the Chinese/Korean regions than in Europe?

And if the above is correct (Somebody do feel free to correct me here), then shouldn't repeating crossbows be very rare upon the battlefield with the exception of eastern armies and characters?

Um. This feels like a bit of a gravebump. Almost exactly half a year!


It is, but because this is a guide and meant to provide information, I don't care.
