Crossbowmen - How Many Shots for Each Unit | Stronghold Crusader

How many shots do Crossbowmen need for each unit in the game? Important Addition: I excluded Tower Ballistas and Mangonels, because there is no definitive answer to, how many shots it will take for them. First, there is the problem with the hit rate, which is about 15 - 20%. Second, there are way too many differences in hit rate and damage based on the elevation difference. The only exception will be in my upcoming video about Fire Ballistas. Thats mainly, because Fire Ballistas have normally a 100% accuracy rating, which makes an exact number of shots possible. If you want to know, how many Crossbow shots Tower Ballistas and Mangonels can take, if we assume, every shot is a succesful hit and the Crossbowmen have no elevation bonus, the answer is: Tower Ballistas: 20 Shots Mangonels: 40 Shots
