Random Questiony things

**Munch** · July 01, 2008, 02:23 PM

I'll get straight to the point

a) Is it possible to have it so that if a horse falls over and dies, the soldier on top can still fight, except standing, not mounted.?

b) Is it possible to have it so that if a unit of, say archers, gets attacked, whilst the front row fight, the men behind can dtill fire missiles?

Cheers for any contributions...

B no

actually ive seen question B happen yesterday, but on the other hand I play SS with a few submods under which Total Combat so that might have changed it.

BTW, what is Total Combat, and don't you think these would be good if they occured in CA's nect game, (I've heard rumours that it might be Rome 2 Total War but I am unsure...)

Total combat is a submod for the stainless steel 6.1 mod, it just adds stuff like new animations, anyway it could still be possible in vanilla. Ill try to describe the situation that I had, heres how it looked like:

EA
INF

A

EA= enemy archers
INF= infantry (mine)
A= archers (mine)

the front row of the enemy archers were in melee combat with my infantry while the ones that werent standing in front of my infantry were shooting at my archers. I would think that this is possible in vanilla m2tw as well as long as u manually order them to shoot at "the A's in this certain situation".

I am certain that as soon as one archer gets stuck in melee all the rest pull out their secondary weapons. I have wondered what would happen if the secondary weapon is removed but have been too lazy to mod the game to see. If they keep shooting they would be so much more effective, usually (there are some archers with good melee capability such as retinue longbowmen and Scots noble archers).
