EB fix for HAs?

**Ownager** · January 09, 2014, 12:46 PM

I know there been a problem with HAs not shooting in skirmish mode in patch 1.2 of RTW. I have beared it for a year. No longer. Does anyone know how to allow them to shoot while moving? If I target an enemy and move them, they stop shooting. Is that normal? I can't find a fix.

define "HAs"

@Ryoga Horse Archers

You need to activate fire at will .

**yuezhi** · January 09, 2014, 03:09 PM

Wait are you playing all RTW on 1.2?

**Bcman** · January 09, 2014, 03:15 PM

Hmmmmmm

In my current Bakria campaign I am having no issues like this.

Also when you say this

in patch 1.2 of RTW

Do you mean patch 1.2 of EB or of RTW. Because there is a 1.3 and 1.5 of Rome total war.

**athanaric** · January 09, 2014, 05:44 PM

Patch 1.5 is required for EB.

**Ownager** · January 09, 2014, 08:53 PM

That's pretty much the third time that happened. Sorry, I just realized, it was WHEN the 1.2 patch came out. HAs seem to fire only when on fire at will, although I remember a time when they would keep firing while running somewhere.

If they stop shooting i guess the enemy unit must be out of range? I cant say that i have encountered your problem while playing EB and using horse archers.

**Ryoga84** · January 10, 2014, 04:01 AM

Never had the same problem

**Ownager** · January 10, 2014, 04:23 AM

No, this is a serious, legit problem. The bow range is green, but they simply stop shooting when they start moving. There is a thread about this on the TWC forums, but there is no fix for EB that I have found.

Never run across this problem, but then I use BI exe, and always keep HA's on fire-at-will mode once the fighting starts, as I think it's more realistic that way.

**Ownager** · January 10, 2014, 07:18 AM

It's fixed in BI. How do you "use" BI? Do you just click the shortcut? Or do I need to start modifying?

**Infidel144** · January 10, 2014, 07:48 AM

If you have the EB Configuration shortcut, open it and choose BI in the Engine selection.
If you are using Steam, read the warning however.

Also, it's a good idea to update RTW vanilla to the latest patch anyway. I mean, it's been around for a couple of years now

I'm on 1.5, but my BI is still on 1.5 as well. I need a patch! I'm going to update it by tomorrow, if I can.

Speaking of this, is Alexander any better then BI for EB? i like shield wall use, and i like using RS environments mod, does Alexander at least have that and the compatibility with it?

**Alhaioth** · January 15, 2014, 10:57 AM

Shield wall is almost definitely in, and I guess the RS2 environments should be compatible, as the changes are mostly graphical, but I can't say that for sure.
