    Default Problem with skirmish mode

    I try to create normal line infantry using firearm. Unfortunatly if i want to create normal missile unit i need to use "missle" as a class. If i use this kind of class, unit get skirmish mode. On the battlefield it looks horrible: units under fire go into disarray and and fleeing before the cavalry.
    Is there any way to change it?

    Edit:
    I ofcourse have set attribut start_not_skirmishing.

    start_not_skirmishing should take care of that. Are you enabling it again in battle? Because that's when they run away to keep a distance to enemies. Changing the formation set up could help as well. This is what we have used in 1648 for musketeer units:

    Code:
    attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw, gunpowder_unit, start_not_skirmishing, gunmen
    formation        0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 3, square

    I have almost the same. And in start of battle all of my gunmens unist have enabled but nonactive skirmish mode. When the enemy goes to my formation, his unist goes into disarray and if i try to attack them by my cavalry, they run.
    I suppose the AI does its job.

    gunpowder_unit or gunmen might make the difference - I am not too familiar with these attributes

    You suggest to use one only attribute - not both? I use both of them and never tested them without second one.

    I have another question about attributes. This time i need some informations about attributes causing fear in enemies. I need add something like for tatar forces but against european units only. Is that possible?
    I know that i can use frighten_foot and frighten_mounted attributes, but it works against all foot or horse enemies. I also may use mount_effect, but it works only against specific kind of mount.

    That's the only frightening entries I know. All those entries are global - you can't restrict them.

    Add ' cannot_skirmish ' to the attributes line.
