    I´d never had any casualties from moving my cavalry head on through my own phalanxes.
    What might happen is that moving through the other units your cavalry is slowed down and thus doesn´t get the full charge bonus.

    In Rome, there is butt-spiking going on. Many a hero of mine and others fell prey to their own phalanxes before when charge carelessly at the pinned enemies.

    However, that is realistic, and should not be complained. After all, it is NOT a wise idea charging through the phalanxes to reach the enemy (or charging into the rear of the enemy, reaching our own phalanxes) in reality.

    In Medieval, no. They don't have phalanxes, after all.

    Assuming you're playing MTW, then no you don't receive casualities and (probably) no you won't get a charge bonus. The reason you won't get the charge bonus is your cav will be impeded by your sword and won't be up to speed for a charge. So while it won't directly hurt your own units it will make your units fight less effectively.

    I would like to thank Martok and Vider, I play MTW & STW Warlords and this has been bugging me for a long time now (not mentioned in the manual, as so much of the really important stuff)...
    Thanks, and happy New Year to you all!
