Impetuous Units charge without orders?

Re: Impetuous Units charge without orders?
I've seen it with knight in MTW and M2TW, but never in RTW.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Can't say I could recall ever witnessing it in action either. Probably dysfunctional and as such merely cosmetic.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

probably bugged in RTW/M2TW engine. On Medieval 1 trying to babysit the knights was a big issue

Re: Impetuous Units charge without orders?
I had some units that refused to withdraw once. I looked at their stats and they had "impetuous". It was probably just a coincidence though.

I know I had a case or two in vanilla RTW, but clicking constantly some how reset them.

I have only seen it in the Troy mod. I would love to have it quite frequent in EB to balance the stupidity of the AI on the tactical map.

Re: Impetuous Units charge without orders?
I've never had it either. However I've had plenty of units which refuse to withdraw from combat. This seems to have no correlation with the "impetuous" trait though.

Re: Impetuous Units charge without orders?
It happened once or twice for me in vanilla, but since then not that I've noticed (they might have in the utter chaos full stack on full stack city fight though)

Re: Impetuous Units charge without orders?
Im sure Ive seen cavalry and at least a couple of barbarian infantry units that were walking near an enemy suddenly charge of their own accord.
I suspect though it could be a case of where one man gets out of sync with his unit and then gets attacked, making the rest of the unit charge the enemy even if they are some distance away.

Re: Impetuous Units charge without orders?
The only thing I've noticed about those "May charge without orders" units are that they don't freaking guard when I use guard mode! When a unit attacks them, more often than not, they start pushing back, meaning guard mode is basically useless to use with those guys. One of the reasons why I usually don't get those guys. I use guard mode a LOT as the advantages to stamina are terrific, and they just simply take it away.
Nowadays I stick those guys on the flanks.
