Hi to one & all. There's a long-lasting problem with Hypaspistai about them using sword against cavalry & spear against infantry which are responsible for huge amount of losses to them.
:duel:

I tried by opening export_descr_unit from sp game edu backup & replacing their primary with secondary & vice versa. But then in the game sword started representing spear & vice versa.......How to make their spear as primary weapon like in Throakitai Hoplitai ???????
:help:

Just use the ALT modifier: ALT + right click. :book:

As far as attacking is concerned using ALT modifier works against cavalry.......but against infantry it fails miserable as whenever a unit is knocked down, he gets up & uses a spear instead of a sword......:wall:

And, the modifier can be used only when attacking......if cavalry charges on my Hypaspistai who are ready for the charge than they fight them with a sword.......:wall:
I wish we can fix this issue with otherwise an elite unit.....

Well you *could* remove the sword by editing the unit's stats. Ought to fix it.

I guess that remains the only option...........

Alt + right-click is also an option. You can also try F10, but I think that only works in online FPS's...
