Routing direction

[Slaists]

Wasn't it the case, CA said, that the RTW game engine preserved the routing directon of troops once they are off the battle map: i.e., if a unit routs off the north edge of the map and survives -- you would see it somewhere north from the battlefield on the strategy map after the battle. Several times, I have noticed enemy units routing off the north edge of the map re-appearing south of the battlefield on the strategy map: exactly the opposite where they should be...

Could have originally been planned but considering the A.I. problems it would not be worth it.

[Prodigal]

Don't they have to run screaming to the nearest safe area? If so, then the route direction would only be visually applicable if they lost a battle in their own province, otherwise they'd have to head in the direction of their nearest "friendly" province.

I agree with that^

yeah I agree on that one too Prodigal , also when I fought a battle defending a ford yesterday, with lot's of phalanxes , the enemy routed ( which they did a the sight of the pikes ) directly IN my pikes..
they didn't even think of running back and AWAY from those killer pikes... no they obviously prefered to die for Rome... yes I was facing the SPQR main army, pretty much an anti-climax for one of the most important battles of the game.
