This mod was inspired by the original Marksman Mod; I opened it a few years earlier and was most amused by it...but then I came across the orcish crossbow in the mod. Much to my disappointment, it did NOT look at all like the armor; so I sat down with photoshop and cannibalized peices of the armor until I made a texture. What had initially started as a tweak turned into a mod as I made a wooden and bonemold crossbow texture, but due to UV mapping issues the wooden one was not released. Instead, I substituted Bethsoft's model.

After making all these crossbows, I decided to make them more realistic, by tweaking their rates of fire and damage; after this I saw that this made them a lot better than bows and throwables so I tweaked those too. After placing Orcish crossbows on Orcs who previously had steel, adding a couple Hlaalu sharpshooters with Bonemold crossbows...and scattering a few wooden ones, I came up with the mod you have now before you; I hope you enjoy it! And after doing all that I realized that I'd left out the silver crossbow to complement the bolts already ingame, so I've added it in v1.2, hopefully the last update for this little mod!

New to v1.2:
-Revamped Orcish crossbow
-Added Silver Crossbow
-Changed projectile store chance to 85% instead of 25%
-Changed the names of the files and organized them more efficiently
-Redid the all crossbow stats based on extensive timed tests comparing bows and crossbows
