The kind of broken game that CA sell me for $50, Cav charge bug

[Tomisama]

In working in Custom with Yari vs. Yari on various maps the result was always the same.

Human Attacker versus standing AI Defender always looses.

AI Attacker versus standing human Defender, Attacker always wins. This may seem contrary to the above form, except the AI Attacker always changes to a oblique attack at the last minute, where as the human Attacker can not do that, as the AI reacts instantly with an oblique counter.

The only way the following can be arranged in Custom is with the human as defender, matching the Attacker in attack before the Attacker can pull the above maneuver. When the Defending human charges the charging AI Attacker head-to-head, the Defender always wins.

This may not be totally conclusive, but from the last few days efforts it seems that there is a repeating pattern of Defender bias.


The Yari Cavalry Defender will at least win the initial encounter in a head-to-head charge, and usually the whole engagement.

The Yari Cavalry Defender will win in a head-to-head charge against the AI.

Standing Yari Cavalry will win against head-to-head charging Yari Cavalry.

It would seem that the only time the Defender bias is broken, is when the Attacker would be standing still (but this needs to be tested in Classic).
