Mercenary Guard forgets to bring crossbow

[X3KJ]

Mercenary Guards had crossbows since release. In e1.5.0 they dont have any - but they are classed as Ranged. They only have tiny tooth pick swords - thats it.
talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight..

Could you help us in posting this in the Support forum: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?forums/singleplayer.658/

I am also having the same issue. I think one person posting this should suffice.

They're listed as archer but they've never been anything but melee. They don't have any ranged weapons even the encyclopedia doesn't have any listed. It's just a minor bug I always just reassign them to group I.

Nah, they've had crossbows before but been removed for some reason.

Not for quite sometime, and since they can branch into melee and archer variants I suspect that TW wanted it to be melee so they changed the load out but forgot to change the designation for them.
