On the theme of crossbows, if M.E partly represents Eurasia, and omits the UK then longbows technically shouldn't be there as they were created by the English and demonstrated at great effect at the Battle of Agincourt. Also, if this is true then crossbows should be more frequent as they were more common with standard european siege equipment.

The paragraph above was created by me to show just how ridiculous people sound when they go 'savage wolf', guys just respect Mevans' decisions and just go along with it but most of all enjoy this mod-pack which im assuming has taken hundreds of hours over months to construct. I'm just speaking generally here so don't all attack me in the comments x) Mevans has artistic license, but I don't think it makes sense to go too far beyond the lore, especially when we know it is incorrect (i.e. Uruk longbows)

Well, Middle-earth is kind of similar to the Dark Ages, when crossbows were rare or nonexistent, and furthermore we never see any crossbows referenced :P

I'm not sure what you mean in this paragraph. If you made the paragraph above it as an example of "savage wolf", it's mistaken. That is nowhere near "savage wolf", not even close. We can debate what Mevans does and disagree with him. That doesn't mean we aren't insanely grateful and glad of his magnificent work. But is it an act of hate to offer critiscism?
