Newbie to RTW and EB

I'm a newbie myself, so I hope the original poster wouldn't mind if I used this thread to ask some of my own stupid questions.

For horse archers, how do I change my archer horsemen to fight with melee weaponry? Even when I run out of ammo for my arrow, I'm frustrated that my horsemen will not charge. Cataphract archers should be able to attack as well as shoot.

No problem-o;

CA mentioned in his fabulous AAR that he turned off the flags. How does one go about turning the flags off.......I think they are a bit distracting too! Thanks.

Go to [Your R:TW folder]\EB\Preferences\Preferences.txt and change the line "SHOW_BANNERS:TRUE" to "SHOW_BANNERS:FALSE". Other tips to enhance the battlefield are to set "DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:FALSE" to "DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:TRUE", and "MINIMAL_UI:FALSE" to "MINIMAL_UI:TRUE".

Thanks Ludens. I appreciate the help!

I just made those changes so hopefully the screenshots will look better in my AAR.
