Cavalry charges revisited

[Grim Fiddler]

I am playing the Third Age LOTR mod to MTW2, and it does not work consistantly.

[Sacred Band]

Try to press alt when you charge to enemy with cavalry. That should force cavalry use lances instead of swords (which ruins the whole charge).

[Flavius Merobaudes]

Try to press alt when you charge to enemy with cavalry. That should force cavalry use lances instead of swords (which ruins the whole charge).

The opposite is true. Pressing Alt forces the unit to use its secondary weapon - in this case swords.

To OP: It is almost impossible to have two or more cavalry charge the same target simultaneously and from the same direction. Reason: To perform the charge with lowered lances, the unit has to be in an orderly formation. It's pretty realistic too - you can't have two unit of knights charge without piercing each other.
So I suggest you manage your cavalry units individually. Formation is everything...
