    Default How can I tell my rockets to shut up?

    Fixed artillery are definitely a powerful thing to use, it's extremely entertaining to see my bunch of rockets butchered the pathetic AI into pieces in my campaigns.
    But the rocketmen are pathetic, too. It seem the only way to stop them firing is to target them to other places, but sometimes it didn't work. I found that my rockets tend to blast my cavalry chasing those routing units into pieces, I cancelled auto-fire and order them into melee and charge, but they simply ignored me and blast my Horse Guards into pieces.
    How can I order those dumbasses to shut up? (Sorry, I'm in a bad mood because my rocketmen again blast my cavalry into pieces, and this time Wellington was killed, I must hang William Congreve to invent such dumb unit).
    Or is it my ignorance that cause Wellington's death (actually he came back, but it's a thousand miles)?

    They have a fire at will button, no?

    Try unclicking it. If it is targeted on a location you may have to also click the hand at the far left.

    If that doesn't work, try to assign them a routed enemy unit as target; they will continue shooting at it even after it has left the battlefield
    (at least other artillery does).

    hang them so they'll never fire a single rocket again.

    But sometimes the artillerymen won't listen to me and keep firing their dumb missiles. I really love and hate them. Do you know how to tell them into melee mode and leave their rockets? I try click them into melee and charge enemy routers, but they fire on them instead.

    I think you can get them to leave the launchers if you route them. You can always move them back by clicking on them, then mouse over the launchers until you show a hand, then click.
