Friendly Fire?

**Caleb ConDoin** · February 07, 2010, 02:50 PM

Is there any way to turn off friendly fire? The reason is I usually play as the romans and my legionaries kill each other with pila all the time. Ex. 1 unit is sorely pressed and I send in another unit to help they get way to close then throw their pila and half of those pila hit their own men. So how do I turn it off?

As far as my 'limited' Roman mind can tell, only way to minimize friendly fire is to avoid close-fire-targeting. Unless of course there is a mod out there...

When attacking use the 'Alt' button. That enable melee combat only. that will reduce the amount of friendly fire taken.

yes, alt button is a very good solution. you can close "fire at will" before attach and later attacked with alt button

As everyone else has said "Alt" attack is the easiest way to avoid friendly fire.

There isn't a mod out there which disables it that I know of, and I'm not even sure if it's possible to do so.

if you did take it off it would make tactics for the romans to easy.

Aye it would make it bit on the easy side for any faction that has units which use a missile before charging.

Just got to remember to use that Alt button!
