Arrows do no damage
Appearently, there is a bug in the CD version of the game (which is also carried over to the Steam and GOG version), that makes non-magical arrows deal 0 damage. See here for solution.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1904570/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1904570) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
