New toys and bow range

[MMM]

2 new updates as the title says!

1. Kukri, Pilum, Francesca and Mini Bow are now on FETO! Those are new toys with the same power as Mithril weapons, but at the expense of 3 weight and being locked to 2 range (1 in case of the Mini Bow). They are buyable for 1250 Gold and thus can be forged, making them a decent replacement for S-ranks if you don't have any yet.
2. All bow toys with the exception of the Double Bow are now locked to 1 range.

It's true that it's been a while since new things have happened, but nevertheless I hope you stick around and experiment with these a bit!

The bow nerf is interesting. Bow units will still be able to deal high amounts of damage against fliers and be good at h/r, but they can be killed without taking much or any damage now without needing to use a def tank. It sounds balanced. Players will still want to use them because of their strong points, but they can easily be killed early on if needed without you taking damage. This should reduce the amount of bow units on a team, because you probably don't want to have a team where half of your units can almost always be killed without your opponent taking damage. Of course, you could argue that it's not really that different from unequipping a unit, but I guess that we'll have to see.

Alternatively, it may well increase the number of WTA2 physicals (which I have rarely seen until now) as they can gain access to Bows and a 1-2 ranged weapon that isn't called Double Bow. Barbearians, anyone? Sadly, I don't think it makes WTA2 physicals that don't have bows any more useful, but I'll use those anyway just because I can lol...
