I've never seen a crossbowman using rocks as ammunition.

Found it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki
Bullet-shooting crossbow - Wikipedia

So technically its like a Slingshot version of a crossbow. The chinese used these but later on used bolts cause it is more powerful than stones. It is used in europe I believe as a bird hunting crossbow. They would use clay balls which are lighter hence faster velocities so youll more likely hit a bird. There are 18th century versions of these (wont be ingame ig) it fires round bullets.

I suggest it should be a anti light long ranged infantry that more acts like a slingshot(can miss) but is more accurate than a slingshot. But weak damage like VERY WEAK. A clay ball can kill u. But i think its less fatal than other more accurate and powerful weapons.

Stats?

6-7range
4dmg

5% miss per movement speed

Also have the +1 dmg weapon effect


Eh idk. But itll be a weird and cool unit to add
