Resolved (1.8.0) Crossbowmen stop fighting when they have 1 bolt left.

[Philozoraptor]

Summary: When crossbowmen load their last bolt into crossbow, they become passive. They stop shooting and do not switch to melee either, they just stand there.
How to Reproduce: Let crossbowmen run out of ammo / edit number of bolts in the quiver to 2 in weapons.xml in order to test it quickly.

This error also applies to your companions who are mounted with crossbows.

I've seen this happen both in "real" battles and during Vlandian Tournaments. In the latter case, I've seen the AI actually switch to its sword if they're directly engaged in melee. But when it comes to field battles, it seems like you have to order them to hold fire if you want them to switch to melee when out of bolts...which is a problem if some units in the formation still have ammunition to use. Issuing the "fire at will" command after "hold fire" will cause the crossbowmen to once again pull out their loaded crossbow and become rather passive (they'll still move but won't fight).

Are you still experiencing this issue on the latest version of the game?

It is fixed now.
