Now that you mention it, I don't think it has occurred when a spy is present. Wonder why?

Cavalry units are all about 50 blokes, with General Cav around 20-25 for a regular family member. This has occurred for me when playing as Roman, Ptolly, Mac, and Saba.

My Roman game was a Gen4 XGM, and I would lose control of the unit for the rest of the battle as they celebrated for the rest of it unless hammered by an enemy unit. Happened more to family than to regular cavalry as well.

Gen5 XGM I haven't had one lock out forever, like Gen 4, but I have had to give them weird commands like form wedge or walk or some such. They'll often ignore such commands, but usually accept one after 3-7 tries. The bug also seems less frequent in this version.
