Legionaries don't throw their pilum?
Anyone else got this problem?

They now use the pilum as a spear against cavalry, rather than as a javelin. This is for everyone, and this is not a bug.

That's too bad.

But then why does the Menavliaton have a pilum as well? If they already have a spear?

did you check if your legionaries are on "hold fire"?

I ran a few custom battles with legions, and no, they don't throw them at all anymore, regardless of settings.

They are not on hold fire.

Anyway, until this gets fixed, I have used the mod My Little Warband to give them a stack of horsemans javelins, which they seem to be able to use.

I've noticed several different units who have two spears in their arsenal. Seems pointless. Legionaries were good way back before they updated them for no reason.

I do think it is a bug, since why would the Menavliaton still have their Pilum in that case? Since they already have a spear.

Bulls*it. For some reasons they gave 2 out of 3 single throwable spears in the game the flag "not stackable" which is doesn't allow legionaries and khuzaits darkhans use their actually throw spear for throwing. But khuzaits tier 4 infantry "Spear infantry" have a "Jagged Throw Spear" which is also a single throwable spear AND they actually throw them to enemy not just wield on their back like accesory. Check the crafting pieces.xml and you'll notice that jagged throw spear don't have this nasty "not stackable" flag. Why did they make pilum and triangular throw spear literally useless? I don't know. On taleworlds forum was some topics about that and cm answering like "the units is working the way we sees them bluhbluhbluh". So it's not a bug at all, it's a deliberate decision and a bad one.

Looking forward for the question...no, you can't just delete "not stackable" flag in the crafting pieces, it starts crashing the game. And i even tried to create my own pilum with same stats and everything with xml modding and it's also doesn't work cause my mod uses meshes of the original one. I'm looking for other variants for change that, but doing devs job is kinda suck.
