Newbie Question about units with ranged attacks

**synikaux** · August 01, 2006, 09:45 PM

How do I disable their ranged attacks? Even if I turn off fire at will I can't say, charge an enemy unit with Greek Militia Cavalry until i've exhausted their javelin supply.

Hold down alt and then left click

Also had similar problem, until i discovered it was alt! does anyone know how to turn off the HUD?

You can also turn OFF the "fire at will" button. This forces them to use their secondary weapons.

Not unless you hold alt - doing that merely stops them from automatically firing once an enemy is in range. If you move the cursor over the enemy (again, without holding alt) then the javelin icon will show up.
