Ewwwww major bridge bug

[Lichgod]

Luci, “I got 22 kills today!”
Pacitus, “Yeah, but 15 of those were OUR guys!”
Luci, “Hey, a kill is a kill. Now, I get to wear a bronze chevron.”

I swear, I am going to build peasant units and mix them with my missile guys and hunt small bandit armies. Gets my General experience and kills for my missile units to build up experience. So slimy.

Couple of things I noticed/guess about bridge battles:
1) If you route on or onto a bridge, large numbers (up to 100%) will die instantly. Usually occurs if your router gets near the sides of the bridge. You may need to be in contact with an enemy/persuer.
2) If you target melee units to attack an enemy in the middle of a bridge, they will charge but any part of your unit that overlaps the mouth of the bridge will take a swim instead and die. Which will cause the rest of the unit to route – see 1 above.

If you target the ground or a unit on the Opposite side of the river, your unit will have no trouble crossing over. I could not target a move to the middle of the bridge. I had to target the far side and tell the unit to halt on the bridge. Did this once with a small force waiting for reinforcements while a horde of Gaul attacked only to proceed to do 2 above. The Gaul were nicely centered approaching the bridge with 1/3rd making it and 2/3rds turning into fish food. Unit after Unit. Have not done it since because this bug is really bad.

The Pharao is not amused.
If I want to kill my own units, I drive through them with my chariots.
There's no need for them to commit bridge-suicide.

I hope this issue will be dealt with in the 1.02 Patch.

In addition to the difficulties of the lemming soldiers, I have also noticed sometimes the AI gets 'stuck' on the bridge. Several times now I have seen the tail-end of the attacking enemy army (3-4 full units) all pile up on their end of the bridge and stop there while the rest of it moves forward. Even after all other units are dead, those units sit there and don't move. If I charge into them, it takes a good 10-15 seconds for them to react and fight back. Until that time, they sit still and take casualties without noticing my men. After they 'wake up' the whole formation shifts as if it had just come unstuck and is now able to move freely.
