+1 for realism, new bow types, new trees. that is called evolution in bronze age, mastercraft sword was still rubbish to later iron swords so here is the same - new trees, new properties, new best bows. As well would like to see crossbows with bolts, and composite bows. Age wise both were available in history at the point where caravels were sailing. Would add as well STR dependency on wood type used for the bow. This way the existing willow bows would not be supernerfed and still would sell for a good coin. And as explained by Lucias it does not mean that willow is a bad wood - but losing memory fast - means the decay for the bow should be faster - means repaired more often etc. In rl I have 2 longbows and 1 composite short. And I have to say that you can balance the game by using different stamina drain for the power of the bow and min STR requirements to use one. It really hurts that you have so many melee weapons and only 3 ranged (not counting catapults here )
