Sindar Archers

[Bowden]

The General's Bodyguard unit of the Silvan Elves, Sindar Archers, have an annoying habit:

When I order them to charge an apponent (I love those Elven Horns by the way!) the start rushing towards them with their bows out. About 10 yards in front of them, they stop, and pull out their swords....

Do fix this. It is a shame to have it.

[ISA Gunner]

All archers do that. Engine issue.

Do you use the "alt" button when clicking on the enemy to charge at? That should make them change to their secondary weapon right away.

[Erunion Telcontar]

If the Alt doesn't work, you'll have to wait until they are out of arrows. When they run out, they automatically draw their swords and keep them out.

why u want your archers to charge when there still have arrows?

Yes I do use alt and no it doesnt make them change to their secondary weapon straight away.

Because the first line of archers will keep their first line at bay, and thus their army, so my second and third lines of archers can actually still shoot instead of using a sword.

perhaps you must first switch-off the fire at will - then stop them, so that not a single one of your archers is fireing anymore and then charge...

enable guard mode the first 2-3 lines of an archer battalion will go melee while the remaining will continue to shoot

But in Silvan army the Sindar Archers and the Heavy Archers have a good charge bonus, so that's not very good just letting them receive charges.

and they are not bad melee figheters either

[Ariaci]

Personally I have not noticed this. But it indeed sounds like an engine limitation. Sorry, cannot offer help at this one.
