Research on battle map - post test results here

[RomoR]

Got the 1.1 patch and so decided to re-test the cavalry charges on melee units (mostly spears) here is an example of one of those series of tests:

conditions:
Unit Scale-Large
Map- grassy flats
Whether- clear
Me with 1 unit of militia spearmen
Ai with 1 unit of Hobilares
After choosing desired formation I press start and dont give any commands to my unit.

Results.

Spears in default tight formation guard mode off. lost all five rounds
Spears in default tight formation guard mode on. lost all five rounds
Spears in Schiltrom formation guard mode off. lost 4 round won 1
Spears in 7 rank tight formation guard mode off. lost 4 rounds won 1

Spears in 2 rank loose formation guard mode off. won all 5 rounds.

So it still appears that the best formation to be in for receiving a cavalry charge with melee or spear units (not pikes) is in a 2 rank loose formation, I'm not even going to talk about the fact that a more expensive spear unit looses against Hobilars! ho I did...

On I side note my Dismounted Portuguese Knights are still Pants/Broken
