mammoths longbows and "surprise attacks"

[Archiplex]

If the game wants new animals, it needs better AI's- big 'boss' monsters like this will only be abused, that's all.


As for mammoth longbows - The last thing we need is a bow that deals enough damage to OHKO

[Baldarich]

not neccesarily. basicaly mammoths would have so much hp that you cant kill even with rangers bow. longbows must not be very hard to craft, for example cast iron but arrows would need nuggets to craft (the better the nugget the more dmg it will deal) the thought about mammoths is more to make people organise hunting with each other and spending much time to kill a single mammoth, but materials gathered from it would have high q and would be worth. the only prob i found is that a hermit must team up with smne else if he wants mammoth materials

ps dont forget longbow must be VERY slow in order to do TONS of dmg so it can be usefull only for grouphunting, not pvp and such

Why not call them warbows or english longbows (because english archers were op) and have new kinds of arrows
Bodkin arrows = good for penetrating armor
Hunting arrows = the ones to kill mammoths (very expensive)

Not if they can fly.


Also so what if they're "abused", we're puny humans and our only advantage over dragons and bears and trolls is our intelligence

Yes except there's a big difference between using our intelligence to outsmart a troll and using exploits to make the troll incapable of attacking while we hit it from the other side of a cliff in melee.
