The ancient Chinese invented an automatic crossbow. It had a clip of 10 fletching-less arrows and was inaccurate, usually used against masses of men and horses.

A archer that has the ability to shoot 2 arrows at once
Power 4
range 5
armor 0
pierce armor 2
site 5
speed 3
cost 3

So what do think

like the AOF one?

Posted: **Tue Mar 31, 2015 9:17 pm**

I like him archers are my unit of choice anyway, but could be used to finish of two defenders when they have just that speck of red left, this is a very good idea I know I would use him )

Range 8 health ? Exp ? Training time 4 turns

Posted: **Mon Apr 18, 2016 10:53 am**

Cho-ko-nu
Shoots fire arrows
Cost of 4
Range of 11? (Ummm... How much is ordinary crossbow Archer? Two more than that.)
Same HP & armors
Higher attack
Requires gunpowder

lol, you mean range 8. A normal crossbow has range 6. A trebuchet has range of 10 and that is the longest range by far.

Sounds very cool!

WHAT??!? I WANT AN 11 RANGE FIRE XBOW ARMY!

Posted: **Mon Apr 18, 2016 6:37 pm**

I like it too
With upgrades it becomes a fire shooting treb!!

Posted: **Thu Apr 28, 2016 11:14 am**

Actually 10/11 could make sense because the archers had bamboo tubes full of gunpowder that turned the arrows into rockets.

Is the Crossbow Archer only 6? That's only the range of a longbowman!

Woah, so they basically invented a fallout weapon.

That is pretty awesome actually, they are basically crossbow/cannons.

Posted: **Thu May 05, 2016 11:04 am**

:-] Yeah...

And I suggest it should be an upgrade of normal fire archer, +1 range, +2 attack, and a bit more hp. Better attack and range you can invent, too (Master archery lv1, 2)

Aye, i agree with this. Nice

Still means we need a new Icon

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2016 2:02 pm**

I like the idea for it to be a fire archer upgrade.

Also, units like these are cool, they would add a lot to a nations gamemode if it is ever implemented.

Well that wouldn't make sense to have a normal unit upgrade to a national unit.

true

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2016 3:50 pm**

Hm, Idk. If it's a standalone unit, I don't see how it would be useful in a normal gamemode, unless we make it substantially better than a fire archer or an xbow maybe?

?

According to Wikipedia, these were just repeating crossbows and didn't use Chinese Fire Arrows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_crossbow

Should we rethink this unit on that basis and open a new topic for a Chinese Fire Arrow unit?

Double firing fire archer. Can be a very good anti buildings.

1 question - will they gain blacksmith upgrades?
Also i think for 3 turns 6 range and 4 damage along with 2 shots is quite op if he is affected by blacksmith upgrades. Lower range by 1 if it is affected by blacksmith upgrades.

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2018 4:49 pm**

Maybe?

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2018 4:56 pm**

I think they shouldn't, if they did cost should b 4 to not make fire archers obsolete, and may b they have less bonus against ships compared to fire archers, currently stats r like slinger with higher range and burning weapons for one more turn cost,

Agree.
Also i think that he can get archer armor (only) upgrades from blacksmith.

Accepted.

Posted: **Sat Oct 27, 2018 6:33 am**

accepted please someone make json for it - thanks!

Posted: **Sat Oct 27, 2018 7:46 am**
