Lances will go down if the knights walk/run against the enemy without changing direction at any point of their movement. No one-click or double click rule...BUT

1. When they are alredy in movement and the player click the to attack a new enemy they are bound to strafe because the possibilities of the new enemy to be exactly in front of them is small.

2. Knights will use lances even if they reach their enemy walking as long as they did so in straigt line. Of cource the damage will be almost nothing.

3. Knights can charge the whoe battlefioeld with lances if they don't alter direction in the meantime. Again damage will not be as big as it would be if they accelarated about 30-50 meters before the target.

4. Trees or even big bushes intervening in their movement can cause the unit to drag swords.

5. The easiest target for charge is either a stationary unit or one which attacks against the knights.
