If you've really researched the Battle of Crecy (which took place in 1346, not 1357) you should know the great success of Edward's longbowmen was due chiefly to the great rapidity of their firing --- a rapidity that could not never reproduced in 2k2. Any bowman would be lucky to fire three arrows (without aiming) before any knight could cross the screen to attack them, a far cry from the twenty to thirty arrows per minute that any competent bowman could loose at Crecy. Unless the bows have been rescripted since their initial preview release to include faster firing and dramatically increased damage, I sincerely doubt they will be of any real use in battle.

Once again, just because it worked in reality, does not mean it will In Graal. In fact, it almost always ensures it will not.

Wasnt that the battle were the frence longbow man fired over 3k arrows in a minute?
