Arbalests rule over guns??

[TheLordofWater]

I really think this is true lets see
guns-much less range
arbalests-good range
guns-cuase fear
arbalests-dont nbd
abalests-kill same amount of people as guns ive noticed but have much more time to do so because of the range (ive won whole battles with arbalests only valor 0-1)
any ideas to prove me wrong welcome because i jsut find guns (and siege workshops but thats a different matter.....) useless

arbalest are too strong for their costs, its hows online, most people use them

[insolent1]

guns are still good but no way near as strong as they where in shogun/MI. I don't go near the handgunners I go straight for the arq's. Arbalestes are good but they don't cause the fear that guns do I normally go for 2 pasive arbalestes & 1 arq. Very few units will be able to make it to melee with my line with that kindof firepower. the ammo dosen't last long now for guns aswell. Stick 2 longbow men behind your spear units & it becomes a killing spree

It isn't like Shogun because it was a different age, 1300-1400 vs 1400+.
In 100 years tecnology improved a lot, so in the Late Middle-Age we have only arq, not musk like in Shogun, and arq had a short range and a bad accuracy.

given the option, why not use both?
