Hi,
below is the EDU code for a cavalry version I made of the Germanic Night Raiders in BI. I called them Ūzluogi, which is an approximation of 'Outlaws' in Old High German. They're a kind of light melee cavalry that throws precursory axes and frighten other mounted units with their ferocity.
The problem is: I've added projectiles to melee units before, and the problem always is that they seem to be throwing nothing, or just their melee weapons (secondary). So I've stopped doing it. But then I had the idea that I could add projectiles to units that already carry the weapons they'd throw, but as melee weapons. So I gave these Mounted Night Raiders some francisca throwing axes. And now their secondary weapon has disappeared, so unless they're throwing axes, they just ride around without a weapon. And in melee it's the same problem.
Any advice?
