Summary

Crossbowmen are somewhere in between archers and artillery. Now that crossbowmen have their own templates (D2886 / rP25122), it's easier to differentiate them further from archers. This patch does the following:

  • Their attack spread is lowered by a quarter (i.e. improving their accuracy), to compensate for their high reload time.
  • Infantry crossbowmen get the same movement speed as melee infantry, instead of 20% faster, making them easier to catch.
  • Cavalry crossbowmen move slightly slower (0.8×) and archers and javelineers slightly faster (0.85×), instead of all moving at the same speed (0.835).
Test Plan

Check for mistakes and omissions. Agree with the concept and the proposed values.

Maybe some changes on range attack?

What do you have in mind?

borg- added a comment.Mar 26 2021, 2:06 PM

I thought of a wider range than archers, like 72/74. Historically it was a defensive unit, behind the walls, so I think that a wider range is good in this sense, mainly because it will be a slower unit, proposed by this patch.

Actually handheld crossbows could be used by the besieged and the besiegers alike, just like artillery. And like artillery, modern estimates of maximum and effective range vary greatly. Sure, a crossbow is a more powerful weapon than a longbow and large artillery more powerful than small artillery, however, more powerful weapons were generally used to shoot heavier projectiles, which had a greater impact (i.e. base damage in 0 A.D.), and heavier missiles have a shorter range than lighter ones, obviously.

Would crush damage be interesting? In games like AOM, these units have the power to damage buildings.

To be clear, I'm not necessarily opposed to giving crossbowmen a different range than archers. I was merely pointing out the “historically ...” argument doesn't hold in this case. And as usual, just because Age of Empires II does something doesn't mean 0 A.D. must do the same.
Crush damage is a possibility. However, slingers used to be problematic precisely because of their crush damage. Besides, people complained on the forums bolt-shooters had crush damage and stone-throwers pierce damage, blurring their functions. (This was changed in A24.) Nor do I really see why crossbow bolts should be able to raze structures. Historically (there we go again), ranged troops and artillery were used, by the besieged, to kill enemies within range of the city walls and discourage the attackers from approaching; and by the besiegers, to clear the walls of defenders, to be able to safely approach them.

Yes, I agree that historically a higher ange or crush damage is wrong. However, I don't want to be just an archer with another look.

The issue is how to differentiate crossbowmen without making them more effective than archers, which would unbalance the game.

For citizen units it may make sense to remove the advance and elite rank, since it was easy to learn, and increase the attack or something else.

Alternatively, we could make crossbows start with lower stats but promote them more quickly since the skill was easily learned. This could be a nice wrinkle for a unique type of unit and create additional game strategies.

I also like borg's suggestion, which essentially makes crossbows the Skiratii of arrow shooters with slightly better gathering.
