Ranged Combat

	Drakowolf I was kind of wondering since Jeff says hes working on the combat system if he mite answer a few questions. my first question is this. Will there be ranged weapons involved in the combat? one thing history in the real world has proven is that the earliest form of hunting involved thrown spears, which evolved into the use of the bow and arrow. So I'm wondering if the Antilians mite be able to craft and use bows, you've already said spears are going to be in but primarily as melee only, but what about a bow and arrow?

Well... not all parts of making those three are exactly woodcrafting... Depending on how involved the process is made, having to make stone or metal spear heads and arrowheads might be a step, which wouldn't fall under woodcrafting. It might be better if weapon-making skills were broken down into weapon families (bows, polearms, swords, etc), so that you could account for having a mix of materials in the manufacturing process. Or have certain components, like bowstrings, be resources to buy. It really depends on how the developers want to break down the crafting process.
