    Default Solution for missile using infantry

    Hi Folks!
    I just love units which use javelins before charging. BUT is there a way how I can prevent them from charging if there are still missiles left? Of course I can click on "stop" every time they're charging but if you have many of them, I'd like to use them as skirmishers first.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks

    Put them on the "fire at will" command they'll keep firing until they have no more ammo left or until the enemy have closed with them.

    Thanks, but I think then, they fire at will maybe once or twice and then, they charge... Is it possible they are to close to the enemy and they have the "can charge without orders" ability? (the jewish spearmen, f.e.)

    If you active guard mode (D), they will remain stationary. Do not forget to switch it off though, as units in guard mode don't kill much in my experience. Guard mode does reduce fatigue.

    that ability is bugged IIRC, so do not worry.

    Whenever you put them on fire at will don't select an enemy to attack or they will throw once then charge. Just let them throw at whoever they want and they will keep throwing until they are out of javelins.
