Command Delay

[Lord of the Isles]

I don't mind the few second delay before a unit responds to an order. It's annoying in a way, sure, but is a little more realistic.

What I do mind is the "instantaneous dithering delay". A unit is running in one direction and you order them to charge some enemy. They immediately halt, dither doing nothing for a bit, then perform the charge. I don't mind that there's a delay, I just wish they would continue to execute the previous order (run) until they change over to your new one (charge unit X).

Agreed. That can be very annoying. Especially with cavalry units. They loose their momentum which is so important for cav charges. Even minor direction corrections make them stop frequently.
But it adds to realism. If your troops are distanced too far from the general there's no possibility to reach them with your commands fast enough. They're on their own, but HA for example perform better on their own than they did in Medieval.
