What dictates the short word to use for a projectile in the unit file? For example, Archers use SBOW which is short for the Shortbow weapon in the projectilestats.txt file.
I was wondering if it was hardcoded or if it could be changed. I read in my Osprey book about Saladin that there were ballistas that shot firepots. To accomplish this, I would either have to create a new projectile (which is virtually impossible without knowing the shortname), or edit the Naptha projectile (which would make Naptha Throwers WAY too powerful by giving them ballista range).
*needs more asprin*
