| hey guys, I found that just by adding the line SHOTALWAYSON to the md file of the unit, they can keep shooting like the Egyptian archers.

| For posterity sake, I will thank you for this hint, it's what finally made it work.
HOWEVER, it's not that simple, there's one little catch, you've got to actually add/edit 2 (two) lines into each unit's .md file
Code SHOTALWAYSON
FREESHOTDIST 1200
Having both of these on a unit.md file is what turns the Fire/Shoot button into a Fire At Will/Hold Fire button. You can input whatever freeshotdist number, i guess, but this seemed all-encompassing for most if not all infantry and cavalry units. It doesn't seem to override the maximum range on weapons, so it's fine. This way, a formation on Fire at Will will NOT pursue stragglers, so they can hold their ground.
I took inspiration from feenix55555's patch (link here), which made the game more fun for me once more, therefore, I'll paste one full unit.md as example so you can see the abhorrence I've made that actually got it to work, thanks to fyuyang5 as well:

This ...thing... is actually up and running, with all the imbalance and cheatyness I wanted on it and it works. Jaegers firing non-stop from the woods. Quote The trees, they speak german!
Hope this helps anyone in a future, as I have wanted this for over 15 years and finally got it to work. I might release it as a mod somewhere, somewhen, we shall see.
Anyway, if I don't and you're reading this years from now: just add those lines to all units in the UnitsMD and GuardUnitsMD folders (you might even add it to buildings, shouldn't matter, I guess, it's what makes forts and towers shoot) (ignore the meat thing, I'm testing stuff to make bodies stay longer on the ground, it's not going well)
