How to get a good Charge, V2.0.

[Biggus Diccus]

The most realistic way to do this is to factor in morale, fatigue, and an overall sense of self preservation at a troop level. This way the troops will act more like a real person and not some automaton that blindly throws himself at death just because he was ordered to do so.

And yet my infantry/cavalry will happily try to run through a enemy unit if I order them to, being slaughtered in the process. You seriously don't think that CA has managed to simulate each soldier to behave as a real person? CA has dumbed down the effects of morale/fatigue/weather/terrain since STW/MTW imho.

The problem with charges not being carried out with cavalry is the same problem as infantry stopping short of a charge with only first line engaging. It's mostly a problem of unit spacing vs unit collision size. It's a bug, not a feature.

I agree.
