  1. As @dvangennip already mentioned, each unit already has a specific attack cue for animals and the such, after seeing this I just thought it was a bit odd archers and javelin units were so worthless in close combat, archers would obviously be on the weaker side, but javelin units? I mean, javelins are sharp whether thrown or stabbed. For slingers, not to sure actually, I mean they could actually use their sling as an actual weapon, or pull a knife. For melee units, not many carried both (Blade and Bow) but many shield-bearers and spear units had a secondary sword for when the threw their spear, or after first push (After opposing side already ran or rammed into them.) I just really liked the recent balancing update (Mauryans on walls with bows is totally not op at all >.>) but why not take it one step further? Also @stanislas69 we do know that animations would be a lot of work, but realistically, they could just recycle them between units. As in as archers switch to melee to kill animals, the melee units could use the second half of that animation (When they sheathe the dagger and reequip bow) Also about units torching buildings and capturing them, much like what I was thinking (Shift clicking to use melee and vice versa) could be done there.
  2. (Sorry if this is a duplicate, couldn't find anything else like it) So do you guys know how some units have both melee and ranged weapons? (Will use the Persian "Immortals" champion as reference) How about the ability to use not only ranged or only melee, but based on the concept and historical references able to use both melee and bows, such as spears for CQC and a bow for those further away enemies. Or like how the Spartan hoplites have both a spear and sword, maybe able to designate which to use against said enemy (Hold Shift + Left Click would use sword, whilst normally tapping left mouse button would allow them to use the standard spear) Also, a big deal (For me at least) is that the Mauryan civilization have not only the melee Maiden Guard, but also ranged Maiden Guard, it would save quite a bit of space (Population Cap) to just throw a bow on their backs and let you shift click to use it, no? Also, historically, archers carried some type of sidearm, such as a sword or dagger. This is mainly just a preference issue, please leave some feedback for me!
