Optimizing Heavy Cavalry charges in the Campaign

[Shahed]

Actually it is and isn't true.

Only those soldiers which manage to maintain the charge should get the charge bonus. Thos who do not manage to keep formation and run into a rock or whatever, should not get the charge bonus. They could still charge with their lances, but by now the melee is on, and it may be better to walk in with sword unsheathed, pick an opponent and hack him down. In the confusion and chaos of the battle an outsider just joining in has a great advantage of wide view of the action, which the people in the fight don't. Coming from outside he can pick and choose his targets.

A great part of the charge is the fact that the horses moving together create momentum that can dislodge simple infantry. A lone person charging cannot have the same impact on an enemy formation, and should'nt. Niether should dispersed cavalry.

21st century Total War... programming, finally.

What CA has attempted to do is good, but it's not there yet.
Still lot of work to be done.

Lot to be said here, I'll try post back tomorrow, with some cavalry specifics.
