Now it's been a long time since I replayed this game but for the life of me, I can't seem to get my fletchers to make ANY crossbows (maybe they're all snooty englishmen believing the longbow can win anything?). From what I remember you left clicked the fletcher workshop, then you would press the little crossbow button next too the bow botton and hey presto, crossbows for days!

Where as I'm playing and I only have the button for bows, which makes this level impossible with the 3 wolf swordsmen.

Apologise if this has already been asked.

I can't seem to find the "First blood" mission, I might be overlooking something.
But I do know that some missions have altered conditions. You're right about where you can find the button to produce crossbows, but it's entirely possible that the button isn't there for this specific mission.

Too be more specific it's mission 11 in the military campaign and I know I'm supposed to be able to make them as the window that tells me what I get on this mission says I can make crossbows from fletchers now which is the annoying part.

falsarr,

You are correct in that you get the fletchers to make crossbows.

That isn't a glitch. You don't get them at first

There's an event that triggers.
