The Proper Usage of Carroccio Standards?

[Machiavelli]

Many interesting questions, of which I can answer none at present. However, I'd like to share an observation I've made on a great use for Carroccios and True Crosses (which actually pertains to all siege equipment more or less):
They're fantastic mobile obstacles.

While you've answered none of my questions, I have to say that your strategy is either a sign of divinely-inspired genius or sheer unadulterated madness. Using Carroccio Standards as frontline spearmen to pin enemy chargers and infantry in place is... ridiculously exploitative of their infinite morale. The Machiavellian inside me approves.

I'd be glad to say it was my idea. It was this forum which inspired me to try obstacle abuse when some regular talked about Carroccios blocking city gates... after that, I made some experiments myself in two campaigns as the Venetians and as the Hungarians (hired two True Crosses for the same purpose).
