alternative weapon vs main weapon?

[Laza]

I switch to swords with cavalry when facing weak infantry like archers.

The two weapons are also important with infantry. For example, the Sweboz bodyguards have swords and spears. Use the primary weapon (swords) against infantry and the spears against cavalry. Makes a perfect all-around unit.

Hmmm... my sweboz bodyguards or gallic nobles give a shit about my orders. Every sodiers seems to use his weapon at will. Neither the whole unit uses the same weapon nor im able to change their weapons by shift + attack. Another thing is that they keep using swords against spears (which is ok) but their own spears vs. swords. At least the majority of a unit behaves this way. Several soldiers wont change their weapon regardless of their opponent.

In IBFD everythings works fine. The saxon troops use the spear as their main weapon to withstand chavalary charges and change to swords when charging and attacking infantry. After charging they always change back to spears when facing cavalary. Maybe its about BI? Im using Alex when playing EB but i wont change back because of this. RTW and BI AI and ai turn duration sucks.
