He's reworking the Roman's again to put something close to "pilum fire at will" back in and hopefully ensure that the AI can use commands properly:

I am thinking something:

Why not have both?
Why not have both the possibility of using Pilum/Javelin on a charge and also from an ability? In this way the BAI can use it and also the user has more choice.

It can work because I can make the ability stop to function when ammo is depleted and also when you are in combat. Also the normal reload time of Javelin/Pilum is there, it's not that you can use the charge then fire with the ability immediately. It would just give the user much more options.

What do you think?
He's doing a great job within the limitations imposed by CA.
