    Default Spears

    something that has always irritated me about rome total war is that when fighting a unit hand to hand and i want another unit such as legionaries to join, they always throw their spears first before charging in and get some of my own units killed. How do i get them to charge in without throwing their spears, or javelins, or whatever... thanks a lot to someone who answers this simple question...

    Yep it works for all troops with alternate weapons, if you want your missile cavalry to charge just hold alt and right click. It's the same for archers, javelin troops, artillery crews etc.
