If that happens highlight the units who are chasing the routers like idiots, press backspace. They will stop. Once the routing guy who was left behind and is causing the trouble gets infront of the horses, so the whole unit is in front of the horses. Then order the horses to charge the routing unit again, and they will head toward the center, but usually trample the guy in the rear first, then they just kill the lead, last router. That isn' very clear... but do you get it?

Hi El Diablo

Its frustrating when you want your cavalry to finish off the routers so they can re-enter tha main battle against another unit.

If my cavalry are one side of a group of routers (or inbetween two) I order them to run to a point beyond and slightly in front of the main group (or lead) router. As soon as the cavalry touch the routers I order them to attack normally. The cavalry, now in contact with the routers, will quickly kill them.

I move my troops individually. One unit at a time. If you move them as a group the AI will give you a hand...and the AI is not very good.

Once contact is immanent, so do I. I have never found the number of units in even the biggest armies to be unmanageable. The same goes for cities where I always move units individually. I only use groups for gross movement.

what I do when chasing routing units is to change formation to double line...

then the formation become so long mopping up is actually quite effectiv.
