Blimey. I've just fought my first bridge battle as attacker; didn't mean to, but I wasn't paying attention to the campaign map.

I read the bugs-so-far list at the .com site, and realised there were some issues with people falling off precipices. I didn't realise how big those issues were.

With his first charge against my exploratory probe across the bridge, the enemy general and half his heavy cavalry galloped from the middle of the bridge into the water and died. The rest of the unit routed immediately, obviously scared of the bridge.

With the second enemy charge, half a warband missed the bridge entirely and ran down the riverbank. A good quarter of them ended up dead in the water. The rest of the battle was easy, but I took lots of care crossing the bridge with my troops.

Anyone heard rumours of a patch? This is ridiculous.
