Its ergonomic design produces optimized balance and comfort, its high-performance, energy-efficient limbs and cams deliver big time results, and its anti-dry-fire mechanism ensures a safe, enjoyable hunt. Truly a bow for archers of all ages and skills levels, the Brotherhood combines safety, ease of use and tag-filling technology like no other bow on the market. This bow shoots at speed up to 305 fps, and has a draw weight of 160 lbs. I have no issues really with my crossbow dwarves since I've been doing it this way over my last 4 fortresses.The Horton Brotherhood offers advanced technology and performance to satisfy diehard hunters. Maybe by doing this I avoid issues of having crossbow dwarves out of ammo when they are needed. WOrks great so far over my last 4 fortresses. They seem to level up ranged combat fast on live targets and I only have them train in a regular barracks in my tavern to raise Dodging and Bashing. I notice they still fight in melee often enough that I gave up on using archery ranges to train them. I also use dedicated crossbow burrows to have them line up where I need them and make sure that a stockpile with ammo is within that area. I have these smaller frontline stockpiles resupplied from the main stockpile. I place smaller, binless, ammo stockpiles near the areas where combat occurs, so any that need ammo mid fight do not have far to travel. The quick-detach stock with removable quiver allows fast, easy installation and also houses the R18 Draw Handle for easy access.

They eventually pick up ammo, especially after I click the gear upgrade button. The detachable R18 stock acts as the bow’s quiver to securely hold arrows in place.

If some of them do not collect bolts after a while I select the whole squad via the Ready stance and move them to the stockpile and make them linger there for a bit. I edit all the combat stances so they always wear armor and weapons 24/7 and they wear everything over clothing. I place this dedicated binless ammo stockpile right next to the main stairwell on my stockpile Z level. The stockpile has about 100 bolts and takes more bolts from my main stockpile's bins when needed. I use the default crossbow uniform and a dedicated Ammo stockpile that forbids bins. I suggest anyone having trouble to check them out.

So, every new Dorf means that Dorf can't 'see' any bolts to equip and I don't know if that then travels down the line to their Squadmates or not.įirstly, there are some very good yt vids from players with advice on how to get your ranged squads working more often than not. That much seems very consistent, but I'm not babysitting a pile of ammo to watch for it. I can't verify that, since I am extremely wood-poor in my fortress atm.Īnother thing - It appears they will not equip bolts that are already in Stockpiles when they join the squad or get their Uniform changed/reassigned. eg: They use wooden bolts for training, any metal ones are used for combat, now, instead of being assigned. There's something going around about auto-selecting bolts for Combat vs Training. There's a 'bolt sharing' something-or-other mechanic involved, too.ĭon't put Bins in ammo stockpiles if you want them to equip the bolts quickly.

I create my own Uniform for them and the best advice I've heard that seems to work is that one has to reassign and update that uniform whenever one makes any changes to it and/or changes to the roster. I'm still trying to figure that out so it will be reliable. They can't be specified in a Uniform set.īolts. 'Quivers' are tied to Crossbows, so the Dorfs armed with Crossbows will know to go get them.
