After a major tactical failure, there really should be a notice that the enemy forces arrive, I barely beat back the barbarian horde and was proceeding to chase them down. None of my units had reached them though, when I noticed back in the fields there were two troops from one of my units doing a combat dance. The unit said they were engaged, and the two troops would raise their... uh.... spear? It's not a sarissa, but I thought there was another term? Hasta doesn't seem right. Whatever the triarii wield. And then switch back to their sword and raise that, repeatedly doing this for the rest of the not-actually-a-battle. All the troops except those two would function like normal, but no matter what command I gave them, those two would just stand there doing a combat dance. I never saw this in .74 or any other mod or vanilla, so I'm assuming this is a EB bug and not just RTW.

I have seen this as well where a single member of a unit becomes stuck in the terrain.the unit continues to function and the combat indicator becomes active on the unti card. I have seen this in .74 as well as .8.

The unit carries on as directed and the stuck sprite associates still as part of the unit. You can attack the single sprite and it is if you are fighting the whole unit. Most unfortunate if your cavalry charge over the sprite and it is part of a unit of pike!
