Revision as of 05:27, 19 January 2011
- Any information on how to make you hunter wields (assign) the crossbow?. Once you create it, will you dwarf just go and pick one up? – unsigned comment by Xacto
- Hunters (with the Hunting labor active) will automatically grab a crossbow, just like woodcutters will automatically grab an axe. Military dwarves will need to be assigned to use a ranged weapon (or that specific weapon), before they go and pick it up. --DeMatt 06:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Does the material of the crossbow affect its ranged damage? – unsigned comment by 78.148.247.25
- To the best of my knowledge, no. The material will only affect the damage the crossbow does when the wielder decides to club enemies with it. --DeMatt 06:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
