Your early game.

There are freakin' xbows everywhere! Every two-bit mongrel has a freakin' shiny new xbow and 30 bolts! Bolt in the head is a sure way to get captured.
 
New to PoP here, but played through vanilla WB quite a bit, although I always got bored and never accomplished much.

Is Archery better than crossbows in the long run? Just curious because I started out with one, and it doesn't seem like any skills are there to increase their damage, so headshots are a must to bring people down in 1 hit.
 
If you're investing heavily in power draw bows would be better, and the best bows can be used while mounted. If you don't have the skill points to invest in power draw a crossbow is better, though the best crossbows can only be used while dismounted. Crossbows are also a lot slower than a bow.

Bows are much, much better in the long run compared to crossbows. Bows shoot much faster, and there's a number of epic bows in the game. They're also a big investment because you have to buy power draw.
 
Additionally, it is often recommended to invest all 10 points for powerdraw if you want to be able to use the rune bows efficiently and maximize accuracy and damage.

And another peace of advice when fighting cavalery- be faster and aim low  :mrgreen:
 
I love when i dismount like half the jatu cavalry charging at me and some mediocre infantry picks them up, archery rules!
 
Just wait for those moments when you and your great big ugly axe, sword or pike take care of that. Far more fun and manly than shooting arrows into innocent horsies.

Plus your balls will swell to ten times their size due to manlyman tactics applied. You´ll instantaneously grow a bear pelt on your chest and a true 2m long beard as well for beeing an epic jumpswing-dodge GreatAxe-Sword-Pike MassKebapeur.

It takes a tad of timing but once you got the knack of it, it´s awesome - just like the thrust from horseback using a nice sword - like the Ravenstern Longsword - is far more devastating against anything than the swing.
 
I dunno a good solid axe swinging into a charging jatu's chest seems to do the trick for me :smile:.
