The hero marksman mode (activated by pressing "2") will not work when you are playing a hero without using it's default civilization. For example, let's say you want to use the Greek hero Achilles in a scenario where your civilization is Rome. You want to control and build Roman units from Roman buildings, but you want to use Alexander as your hero. The melee weapon works by default when you enter hero mode, but the marksman mode will not activate. There are no pictures in the bottom left corner to show that either the melee mode or the marksman mode is available. I've tried many times modifying the Tech Tree, both through triggers and the player options page and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else come across this problem? Does anyone have a solution or additional information as to what is causing this?

There is also an issue with the Roman alternate hero Octavian. When you press "2" to enter his marksman mode (just as Rome normally) he looses all his stamina and hero mode is exited. If anyone has any knowledge of a work-around for these problems I would be very greatful.
