I need help with ranged units

[The Emperor of Rome]

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to make ranged units charge and fight melee before losing all their arrows.

Shift and left-click.

I'm pretty sure it's alt and click

[Gregoshi]

Yes, it is alt and left click.

You can also use the Engage-at-Will or Hold Formation button on the top of the screen to tell the unit not to skirmish when attacked, but even when the unit is set on Hold Form or Engage they won't charge nito melee unless you use Alt-left click.

When missile units run out of ammo and you tell them to attack a unit they will automatically melee.

It is best to use missiles in 2-3 deep formation when shooting, but I find that if I switch to a 4-5 deep formation before melee they last longer and do better.
