4000 suicides

There is a degree of pathfinding I've found, they will generally dodge your troops a bit in open ground. Possibly the AI can't tell that the only way out the map to a certain point is across an easily defensible route, and so soldiers avoidance routines don't give them any options when there is only one way to go - across the bridge. And also the same with city gates.

So in other words this problem (which I've had) is probably a lack of programming for this sort of situation in particular in my ignorant opinion.

I like when you get an infantry unit trapped between two units of horse archers. It runs at one, takes a couple seconds to figure out it's getting shot in the back, then turns and runs at the other one.
