DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How does Crossbow combat work?
« on: February 10, 2020, 08:12:19 pm »
I've got a fort set up with a castle design surrounding my main entrance down into the fortress, and above the gates (ground level) is a pathway with fortifications along the perimeter of the wall below for crossbow dwarves to shoot through down into the z-level below. However, whenever I station my crossbow dwarves around said pathway, they don't seem to shoot anything, and when set to kill the enemy through the (s) screen, they tend to just walk through the gates (if open), and get themselves killed that way.
TL;DR: What are the requirements for crossbow dwarves to shoot and kill enemies?
