| Summary | 0000840: Bowyer had Fey mood, made Artifact bow but can't make ammo and can't trade because Elves/humans were wiped out or remote | ||||
| Description | Hi. I had a bowyer make an Artifact bow. I can't use it or other foreign ranged weapons because dwarves can't make the ammunition required. I'm also on a remote island volcano map, so the elves and humans can't reach me, only dwarves. I'd suggest making the ammo produceable in some form by dwarves, if not the weapons. Maybe they could make dwarven arrows, which would be low quality versus Elven Arrows but still firable from the same weapons. | ||||

This has been in the game for long enough that it's probably intended behavior, but I'll leave the report open just in case. |
|
|
Bows should either be craftable (with arrows) or migrants need to stop having the bow skill. Atleast it makes some sense to have some cohesion between what the fort can do, and what the dwarves do in world gen... Atleast tweak the crossbow/bow ratio, so marksdwarves are more common than bowdwarves. |
|
|
It is even more strange with migrant pikedwarwes. Dwarves not only cannot make pikes but also cannot equip them because they are too small... |
|

I've got a migrant with "blowpipe" skill, and several bowdwarves. I've yet to see elves or humans bring arrows to trade. Do they, sometimes? Even if they do, it's not enough to make this issue go away. I'm fine leaving the weapons as foreign and therefore uncraftable, but let us make ammunition. An arrow isn't a lot different from a bolt, is it? Or a dart? |

|
This probably counts more as a suggestion than a bug. Artefacts are weird should not always be useful in my books. That said, having some way to supply bowdwarves would be nice even if only via trade. This is something only the almighty Toad can decide. |
|
|
This is not a bug. However, I'd bet that dwarves with pike skill are bugged. Dwarves can get bow and blowgun skill by being in a bandit camp before they migrate. |
