Do bows affect archery shots?

[paboperfecto]

Do the bows affect damage or chance to hit at all? The dialog doesn't indicate any differences. I looked at the source code in bows.lua and Combat.lua and didn't see anything that would indicate that they are any difference except for the "level_range" which I am assuming is the level they are normally found at and the amount of dex needed to wield them.

Granted, this is my first time looking at lua scripts so I could easily have missed something. I was just wondering if I should sell my dragonbone longbow I found and just keep using my elm one or if there were advantages to switching.

You hacker you... But I also didn't notice any differences (admittedly I didn't check the lua) I just checked the damage and distance (which I was hoping for) of the bow but all was the same.

So if there isn't any bow differences, lets suggest them. (I am playing archers now!)

Increased distance they can fire. (even 2 or 3 squares makes a difference already)
Increased stat % of damage.

This was commented on during the Alpha testing...

At the moment all bows are the same. I understand that that will change.

Also all slings are made of wood... That too will change!

Launcher type affects (at the very least) firing range now. It looks like there are some fields for armor penetration and the like, but I don't know if any launchers have non-zero values in those fields yet.

Rough leather sling, range 8. Cured leather sling, range 10.

I do like that better launchers offer better range, rather than wild to hit and damage pluses. I haven't found any ego launchers yet...
