Are impetuous units impetuous at all?

[Hannibos Barcalix]

Impetuous units may charge without orders.
Has anyone ever witnessed this?

Campaign battles vs barbarians raised some doubts, so I've did some custom battle tests and while impetuous units sometimes show the "impetuous" morale tag they never charge by themselves.

So is this feature broken or is this WAD but works in some way I didn't think of? Can someone confirm this?

Yes, I had some barbarian mercs, and one unit charged without orders, this caused another two to go, its the only time I seen it, they were almost all wiped out.

if you have a impacint unit watching anouther unit do battle it will go and help

[TopHatJones]

Yes I have seen this with some cavalry units that almost got themselves killed. :(

They seem to only do it when they are relatively close to the action.

[smoothiemaker]

but they never rush on to a enemy for no reasion so dont have to wory about that

[Belenus]

Yes they will sometimes charge, I one time had my general's calvary unit going away from the enemy. Once they stopped, they turned around, and off they went.

Right into a phalanx.....
