My apologies i didn't see better archery, its rather hard to use the forums on a phone sometimes. go ahead though im not sure what that post is regarding im more bothered about the crafting mechanic for the bow so its not breaking the rule if better archery is about the actual fighting mechanic(its 3 am i cant find the post so I've not read it) however if you feel it is necessary il respect your decision and you can merge them Thanks

Ive always felt that with the tool and crafting system that bows deserve a little love and attention and they kinda undermine the effort required to make a sword, if youve spent hours mastering smithing to finaly make a bronze sword or javelin and your freind comes along and jams together three sticks and 3 string and gets a bow to kill you with its hardly fair, and its hardly believable . I feel that for a start a change the recipie for a standard bow should be added, you could easily adapt the smithing mechanic to work for bows, maybe just put a knife on a log and it makes a bow work bench, in this you have to have a knife and an axe (kinda like the stone anvil) and you place in logs to make a bow limb using a simular api to the smithing... The bow limb could then be soaked in water for an hour and then heat treated on a fire. The bow string could also be made out of 3 string and that should be pretreated in a barrel of water. This is not only more realistic but more belivable, i doubt anyone could make a leathal weapon from a bit of twine and some twigs. This would also open up a whole opertunity for a tier system for bows eg short bow - normal bow- long bow - composite bow (limbs made from 2or more types of wood and some binding) and Maybe even a crossbow (you could use black steel in the recipie to balance it a little more) smithing arrow heads would also be something to consider or at least using knaping to make stone arrow heads as a replacement for stones in the arrow recipie. anyway to conclude this please change bows because the current method of crafting realy doesnt fit with the mod, many thanks- aperturewarrior

IGN:ApertureWarrior AGE:17 TIMEZONE: GMT WHY DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?: I've always found that even with mods the game seems to get boring after a while and I would like to contribute to a community in some way after all its the community that make the game what it is, its always fun to set up a trade system and build other community areas. depending on permissions id also like to record a few videos on the server HOW LONG HAVE YOU PLAYED TFC?: more than 2 years SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF: I'm a English college student that likes to have fun and help others. I'm learning to code and i'm half way to making a better than wolves style mechanical power add on for tfc (I used to love btw and i feel it would have really fitted in with the tfc feel) also I like to make videos for YouTube

GN: ApertureWarrior Age: 17 What are you good at in TFC, or what skill do you wish to focus in? mining, smiting and building(dont like farming all that much but i can do it) Do you wish to join the main town or be on your own? I would probably have an independent home and join a town if that is acceptable, it also depends on the servers attitude to recording (regarding whether or not i would be allowed to do it) Skype(optional): Would prefer to keep private.
