limited ammo

[Shadow_Wolf33]

is anyone else highly dissapointed at not being able to disable limited ammo like we could in rome, and every other freaking TW game?

you can still disable fatigue, and morale, but god forbid you disable limited ammo!

I'm currently running a campaign as the English, and having my longbowmen run out of ammo makes me very sad in the pants. I really don't find it that much fun to be FORCED to use the omgzergrushmelee armies when it isn't my preferred style of play.

Please oh please god let someone discover how to disable limited ammo, and that it is just something that I missed. :wall:

I'm finding the English ammo lasts long enough so far - vastly longer than the longbowmen in MTW.

But if you anticipate a long battle, I'd recommend bringing a couple of merc crossbowmen - they are like energiser bunnies and keep going long after your bows have dried up. They have a higher missile attack and armour than early bows too.

:laugh4: Enegiser Bunny Crossbowmen.*thinks about it*.Okay scary though.Run I say run.*Runs from crossbow wielding, pink,sunglass wearing,and drum playing bunnies*

My longbows regularly run out of ammo in sieges. :inquisitive:

[Shadow_Wolf33]

yeah it's mostly the sieges where my boys wind up running dry, which is really annoying...especially when it's my artillery that has run out of ammo. Well, when the modding tools get released, I definitely know the first thing I'll be looking into changing. If I can't make them have unlimited ammo, I'll do my best to make it seem like they have an oxe cart full of ammunition following each soldier around the battlefield! :knight:

I usally use Longbowmen for long range stuff, but Use Pav Guys to hold out for a longer time plus to have better shoots and such..

[Shadow_Wolf33]

I don't know which England you're playing, but mine can't build any sort of crossbowmen. Are you just talking about mercs?

Even if there is no longer an option for unlimited ammo, you can probably mod the game to give ranged units as much ammo as you'd like. Might be a bit of work in it though, since you'll have to do it for every type of ranged unit in the game.

Yep, easy to mod the txt file... once we're able to actually get our hands on it of course! :yes:
