I love what CA has done for javelins in RTW they were near useless in MTW as you had to get within spitting range to throw them and skirmishers were often forced into melee, and there damage was low anyway. On RTW skirmishers and javelins as a whole are deadly weapons that can reduce units considerably before melee.

export_descr_units.txt in the data folder in RTW (back any file up first that you intend to mod.) There is explanation of what the numbers mean at the top of the folder--it is incomplete, but very helpful. The missile ranges will be under the stat_pri. Here is the line for head hurlers with 40 range.

stat_pri 17, 6, head, 40, 6, thrown, archery, fire, none, 25 ,1

It makes their fellow soldiers and citizens very nervous when they say they need to refill their ammo supply.
