I have two questions.
1: When I double-click attack on an enemy unit that is, for the most part, behind another enemy unit, does my unit recieve the charge bonus when attacking the units that obstruct the targeted unit when they come upon them?
2: Is camping upon the top of a hill actually less tactically feasible than defending the bottom of it? Imagine a crowd going from a flat surface up a stairway in the entrance to some crowded sports venue. Just before the stairs, the people will crowd up, as their advance up the stairs is slower than their prior walk across the flat surface. Thus the enemy army is somewhat squished at this point, with a lack of flatness in terrain to vertically organize their formation. Also, any flanking units can attack in full strength, as they will not have to charge uphill into the rear of the enemy and be placed in danger of losing an uphill battle with the rearguard. Instead, they can attack with a charge and possibly a height bonus in the case a hill is behind the enemy army. Anyway, I had been thinking about this and decided to post it. Using this tactic would require timing, as in order to gain the missile advantage your forces would need to take positions higher up on the hill.
