    Backspace then run them back. And even if that doesn't solve it, you must try to adapte, as I don't think it is a problem/bug anyway.

Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Not completely without realism either.

    They've just finished HAND-TO-HAND combat.

    Adrenalin drop-off, short-term muscle fatigue, emotional sigh of relief, suddenly going from 100% effort to about 20%. "Celebrating" doesn't mean they were necessarily mixing a batch of martinis.

    Now, I agree that 1 minute plus on a 30 minute timer battle seems a bit in-ordinate, so there may be a real issue here, but I don't think any of us would do a 400 meter sprint in competition, cross the line, and then jog on over to the high-jump for a quick Fosberry flop without a bit of down-time to "celebrate."

    Well, they just massacred a whole bunch of enemies. That tended to make most people rather cheerful, and yes, at least temporary loss of control over victorious troops was a historical problem too. Probably contributed to a fair few defeats on the side - a formation routs and wipes out its initial opponent, and gets caught pants down when they're busy slapping each other on the back and generally strutting their stuff (and drawing breath, trqying to redress the ranks, and so on and so on).

    Incidentally, I wonder if the "training" attribute (you know, untrained/trained/highly trained) affects how often that effect happens ?

I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    As the original poster had the same trouble with a generals unit too, perhaps celebrating at an inappropriate moment might be something to do with one or some of his traits. Just a thought.

    Sadly I can't check mine as he is no longer with us

    It is a normal thing, and happens many times if that unit(s) had a very hard close battle and won it.

    Yeah, I've had this happen often, but never to the point where I've lost a unit....Usually they're done raising weapons in the air and cheering after about 3 and a half seconds.
