Javelin Units on battle modification

[Ataegina]

Its possible give a max of for example 5 javelins per unit and when the unit gets closer this units engage them by switching to their secondary weapon instead of run away to strike again ?

[Gigantus]

Does that remind me of legionaries? RTW comes calling.

It should be possible, have a look in the EDU of RTW. Skirmishing off and javelins secondary weapon is my guess.

[KarlzBalla]

or inside the export_descr_units find your unit, go to attributes for the missile weapon (always primary weapon) and add prec. Its a relic of the RTW and, as far as i know, is still operational. So, for Almughavars, do something like this

so they i'll stand still and not run away? neat

[Korinthos Hoplites]

All you need to do is disable skirmish mode. However, if you want the AI to have them stand still, change the unit's class from missile to light or heavy. To make them throw javelins once and charge, add the prec attribute like explained above.

[Taiji]

Prec disables fire at will for the AI, so they'll only throw when they charge...

If you just set them as heavy infantry, the AI will not stop them to allow them to throw...

Personally I set heavy/light/spearmen, cannot_skirmish and prec.

Plus I would raise my charge distance from 5-6(good cohesion) to 15-20(bad cohesion), in order to allow enough time to switch to melee when counter charging.
