skirmish mode

[Roman_Wolf]

how can i add skirmish mode for a unit?

[Aradan]

You give it a "missile" or "thrown" weapon type in its stat_pri line in EDU. (without a 'prec' attribute)

thanks for your help, but is there a way for doing this without giving them a missile weapon?
The reason I wanted to do this is to give regular cavalry units the ability to skirmish mode, but I don't want them to have any missile weapons.

Will it work if i game them 0 ammo for example?

Yes, you can make the unit "skirmish" class. But that will affect formations, AI recruitment etc.

i guess it's a bad idea then. I'd probably end up messing the already messed up AI.
but thanks for your help anyways.
