Archers skirmish mode. How to turn it off?

[one piece]

I notice that archers in the mods Perisno and Nova Aetas back up when approched by enemies. I understand that, however, it's very pointless and quite annoying when they started backing up when in weapons reach and they don't shoot. The archers try to strike out at the enemy while constantly backing up, which just leads to them getting killed and just not hitting anything. When 94 archers are killed by 12 men, there's a problem. Maybe I just shouldn't have an archer army.

you need to combine them with infantry. Find a slope and place the infantry in front so the archers have a clear sight to fire. And don't use the skirmish mode, unless you have lot of infantry who takes the focus off the archers

The better archers can melee fine (at least in Native, I don't know about whatever his using). Skirmish mode sounds like ♥♥♥♥ and dont use it. Archer armies actually work out effecttively.

I would say it's better to let maybe 20 % of the army be shielded infantry (maybe huscars or sergeants) to catch enemy missile fire, and do the fighting if enemies get close
