annoying skirmish button

[captainbloodloss]

Is there any way to take away the skirmish button from line infantry and other units not mean to you know, skirmish? I find it very troublesome to see that my line infantry can simply chase the defender off of the high ground and win the battle that way. I know that most Napoleonic conflicts were decided by shock (bayonet) action and hate to see the lack thereof.

Ok, I just read another thread sort of about what I posted on. While I understand that you cannot force the AI to not use skirmish, I also understand that the AI cannot use the button if it is not there. I want to know how to get the game to treat non-light infantry as it would a normal melee soldier in RTW, and not give it the darn skirmish button.

*Sigh*...NM. I just figured out that it gives the skirmish ability to all units who have missile weapons (not inlcuding precursor weapons like the pilum). I tried changing all line infantry's musket attacks to a precursor to take away skirmishing but the computer is too dumb to use the fire at will button and charges all its infantry after the first volley. I hope, if they make it, that NTW3 will somehow adress this problem.

what version are you using?
I believe the current one has skirmish automatically off.

Also, NTW2 was not made to be played in SP. The AI does not like this styled of warfare. NTW2 is best played in MP games, where the other player can really ensure that you get the full expereince of NTW2.
