What is the difference between charge and attack?

Thanks.

I found this: https://forums.totalwar.com/discussi...s-vs-mechanics

It's in TW:Warhammer section. Those two are totally different games and mechanics are different too.

Generally, as drone said, you can charge in two ways. First, you can one click on enemy unit and when your unit will be in charge distance it'll start to charge. To build up maximum charge bonus your unit has to charge for a few seconds (don't remember the exact number). The second way is to double click anywhere (enemy unit or terrain) and your unit will start to run. If your unit will run through enemy unit, soldiers which get in contact with enemy soldiers will get charge bonus. I don't know how long it lasts but I doubt it lasts for 15s like in TW:Warhammer. From my experience it only works on impact. You can easily see that kill rate drops immediately and very significantly after first impact. Sometimes it may looks like it lasts few seconds because it's calculated for each soldier separately and not all soldiers in first line meet an enemy at the same moment.
