Two suggestions concerning (cross-)bows:
a) In M&B, quivers are always on the back of the archer. We all know this from hollywood movies, however, as far as I know, bolts&arrows were usually carried at the belt in medieval times. For example, I do not know a single painting/picture from mediaval times, where the quiver is worn on the back, whereas many show how archers and cross-bow-men have their "ammunition" sticked in their belts or in so called "arrow sacks/bags". (If anybody knows anything differently, please tell!!!!)
I know that this is some sort of "insider-knowledge" of people actually doing medieval re-enactment and that almost any other would be rather "disappointed" or irritated if the quiver is not worn on the back - but hey, I still think it would be a nice idea to make the archers of the game wear their quivers "medieval-" and not "hollywood-style"
b) Am I mistaking, or are there no bolts in the game, i.e. you can use the same arrows for a crossbow that you use for a bow? As you can already choose from various form of arrows, why then not add bolts for cross-bows?
Cheerioh!
