Crossbows

This mod adds two simple crossbows.

V2.1

Rework to heavy crossbow to make it a more viable weapon:
-Armour penetration upped to 30%.
-Damage increased to 22.
-Improved close and medium range accuracy.
-Ranged warm-up increased to 3 seconds.

Also small buff to the regular crossbow:
-Close range accuracy improved.
-Armour penetration increased to 22%. (was lower than the recurve bow previously)

These changes should make both the crossbows more accurate than the greatbow close range, and make the Heavy Crossbow a slow but deadly weapon.


V2

Complete rework on both crossbows for 0.19.
-Now requires 100 research points (150 if tribal) after Greatbows
-Light Crossbow now has shorter range vs Greatbow, but boasts more damage and greater short range accuracy
-Now costs 20 steel and 30 wood to make
-Heavy Crossbow now has an intermediate range between the crossbow and greatbow. Instead of higher damage, the Heavy Crossbow has a higher armor penetration rating, allowing it to reliably pierce plate armor.
-Now costs 30 steel and 40 wood to make

V1.1

The Heavy/Siege crossbow has been added! This weapon throws out rate-of-fire for raw damage and range.
Can be made at a Smithy with 75 wood and 75 steel.

Both are in tech level "Medieval" and requires an additional 200 (400 on tribal start) research points after Greatbows have been researched.

V1.0

The crossbow is essentially a Greatbow with better accuracy, longer range, but slower rate of fire.
Can be made at a Smithy with 50 wood and 25 steel.
