Re: Javelin throwing units
Many units have fire power with rotten aim. But if you think like them you can usually see the problem. Try using the page-down key to drop to their view level and see the battlefield. To avoid friendly fire you need to position your shooters off to the side. Or have them do long arching fire such as "fire at archers".
I like to set them at the sides and then use a cheap commander with guards on orders to attack then stay at rear. That makes the run forward, draw attention, then pull back. The enemy chases them up the gauntlet between my crowds of shooters. That works particularly well for javelins since they get off 3 volleys and then charge in on the sides to use melee weapons.
