Wedge formation

That's a little bit of an extreme example Patron

The swipe bug just gave a unit the charge bonus even if you clicked behind the enemy and told your unit to run. Without the swipe you musy tell your unit to charge into an enemy directly in order to get the charge bonus.

The swipe bug was more then that actually. It gave infinite charge bonus IIRC. But it still depended on stats so low quality units couldnt do the same as high quality units: My chiv knights were always better at it than say Horsearchers.

I have seen 2-3 ranks of enemy cavalry be wiped out just because I came in at the right angle. It was a highly devastating bug and a bit random sometimes if both players tried to swipe each other and it could happen even if none of the players wanted to swipe.

And of course cavalry couldnt do it against spearmen, at least not from the front.

So I doubt your hobilars would do that much against so highly upgraded Halbs but most likely they would still do more than in VI 2.01

Is it stating the obvious to warn against using wedge with your king or 8 star General unit unless you don't mind the possibility of them being the first casualty?
