    And of course make the arrows shoot in series.
    Probably retexture the bow to an AK-47

    Archers can carry mines, too.

    This pretty much sums up the reason why Archers shouldn't get more arrows.
    I used to be "le mine master", tossing them down on people and almost always getting a guranteed kill because of me being an archer and baiting out attacks, or even just getting in tricky areas.
    If anything, maybe Mines should be brought over to the archer shop, not adding anything else.

    EDIT: I don't support it being changed, I'm just making a point

    Good point... but so can builders.

    The point is, why should you have to buy ammo? What if you damaged multiple people but never get any gold? What if your behind enemy lines and don't have time to go back to base? Archers shouldn't rely on builders and gold to fuel their primary weapon, it makes no sense.

    That't not what I meant, I meant if they had less than 30, they would regenerate ammo slowly (like 4 seconds of waiting will give you 1 arrow).

    And it used to shoot in a series.

    I never said anything about more arrows, just more ease to getting to them.

    I only have trouble getting arrows if there is no other archers in the entire game, which is very rare. You pick them up all over the battle-field, to the point where even the devs agreed it was time to max the arrow auto-pickup to 60. Getting arrows is not hard by any means, all else fails, go by any tent for 30 free arrows. I don't think I've intentionally bought arrows since my first day of playing KAG.

    However, I do agree that arrows should be infinite, or maybe some form of reload counter like you say. Not because there is a shortage of arrows, but because there is an excess. All over the field I see piles of arrows, piles which will be forced into my inventory taking 2 slots, and every time I want to pick up something else, oh, there is another stack of arrows. It might also reduce lag since there will be less shit on the battle-field (arrows are one of the few things no one bothers to pick up) and there is no need to be checking the arrows which are in the walls/ground for if there is an archer grappling near-by.

    Also, I don't see how builders being able to carry mines is relevant to the discussion.
