As you can see,pri armour is there

You have 2 "stat_pri". That might be a problem

[parthian shot]

You also need to place a comma "," between two attributes

so instead of

stat_pri_attr thrown ap

should be

stat_pri_attr thrown, ap

[Skull]

Thank you both,It worked. ^_^

Acualy,it seems that most heavy infantry units that throw javelins have that ability,weird,in EDU there ain't instrucions what it really is and why to use it...

If you test out these attributes below

stat_pri         8, 2, javelin, 60, 6, thrown, archery, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    thrown ap

you probably realize that the second thrown is not the same as the first one.

in the first line, "thrown" means the weapon will be thrown as axe or javelin. So your battlefield cursor will not show a bow and arrow, but it will show a javelin instead.

in the second line, it means the target will be thrown when hit, ie it activates the people flying animation sequence.

While the second "thrown" shows how forceful the missile weapon is, and can be rather dramatic, it is a major drain on your computer resources. If you are playing with huge unit setting, it might be a good idea to delete the second "thrown" when you have multiple large field armies in the battlefield.

Is the second 'thrown' related to people getting knocked back by the missile? I doubt it. I believe it makes the weapon have a bonus vs elephants and chariots...

Umm...I don't think that units fly back when hit by javelins in the game,I think it is the same animation as getting hit by a arrow,and I don't really think that flying back into the air is very realistic,you are more likely to just fall on your knees and fall to the ground and die,unless you are like,hard as a feather or the javelin thrower is a giant...

Sorry, I meant to say launching, not thrown, two separated sentences got mingled into one.

[Skull]

OK.
Also,how do I make that unit behave as a Scutarii type of unit instead of a skirmisher unit?

[Aradan]

Do you mean throw their javelin and then charge? Just add "prec" to the list of primary weapon attributes.
