Default Re: Javelin throwing units

I love javelin infantry. I never give them any orders. They don't need any, because then the AI isn't constrained in its options and it can usually use them to good effect. The key thing is positioning the stacks correctly so that they don't get too far ahead to get slaughtered.

It seems to me that javelin units without orders will move to throwing range and use their javelins until they run out of them, while with hold and attack I've never seen them use them.
