Crossbows and Swords
« on: May 08, 2011, 12:37:13 am »

Since crossbows are one-handed ([TWO_HANDED:0]), does this mean that if i give my crossbowdwarves swords instead of shields, they'll use the swords in close quarter combat?
Do they still shoot?

My experience is that soldiers carrying both a ranged weapon and a close-combat weapon won't shoot, but I haven't tested it thoroughly.

It works just fine in adventure mode, though.
