Bow strings

What's with the evil grin? I assume you mean to say that you don't intend on answering the question and merely wish to torment us in a year-long campaign of waiting for EBII?

Well something like that, i and i think the team wan't to keep surprises for you, the fans, so we can publish as many previews as possible. So not to torment you just to make it fun waiting for the release.

Well back in rtw there were a lot of bugs and problems because of the tools then ca released only the exporter wich for me and others didn't worked as it should(in fact i don't know someone for wich it did, worked fine with models but not with animations) and we couldn't fix all the animations that's why there are still some visual(not only) glitches with the animations even today.

We even wanted to create new siege models and did but we couldn't use them because we couldn't animate them.

no RTW didn't have strings attached to the bows at all.....

But I'd rather see that than see bowstrings that don't retract...

It'd be great if you could fix the animation, and otherwise you could just leave them out, but ofc it doesn't all depend on my opinion.

This the mod you were referring to?

I believe Strelac also did a new archer animation, but has yet to implement it in BC.

Yeah, I've seen something like this too. Looks quite nice, but I doubt it has very high priority.
However, I can live with stringless bows, if they choose not to implement it.

By the way, does it work for both horse-archers and ordinary archers?
