RTF is a global modification that replaces all towns in the game.

I think that firearms, like rifles, will have a longer range than crossbows for the Dwarves (if firing bullets) 🤔. Perhaps, the poor qualities (or at least, not much better than a crossbow) can be linked to the underdeveloped technology of gunpowder production, which... which... doesn't provide much power? I'm just thinking that firearms didn't develop in Ashan in the same way as on Earth because some important factors are hindering it (what factors?), otherwise it's unclear why they aren't used. Probably, these important factors prevent firearms from replacing crossbows, and therefore the focus is only on convenience and the lack of need for training – just like with Gremlins! The same applies to the Dwarven hunters... I hope I didn't write too incoherently.
