I'm very much interested in producing a unit as the title describes.
In general, basic terms (for the moment) I want to have a Roman troop, like a Hastati, or such, but instead of carrying a sword around in his basic combat stance, I want a bow.
Thus, they run around with Shields and bows, put the shield in the ground and then fire from behind said shield (imagine Pavils from MTW) or at least fire with the shield. Then, when melee combat is engaged they could engage with a sword and shield.
If this is possible, could someone please give me either an example of how to do this, or do it themselves?
I've messed with the Desc_model_battle and Export_desc_unit stats, but have messed up several times and have not been able to suceed (maybe because I haven't read the readmes..) Prefer learning things by hand, or, heh, computer mouse clicking! Yet, haven't had the time to do such yet.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
