detailed units stats questions.

^ thanks, how do you know that?
what about cavalry/infantry charges, how do they work? how about the infantry/other mounted soldier that receiving charges from cavalry/infantry?

[Ciaran]

Educated guess, because basically we don´t know.

The charge value is added to the attack value for the duration of the charge (as long as the unit tooltip says "charging"), that´s why Knights are so devastating in the initial few seconds while after the charge effect expires their performance drops. Infantry also has the charge effect, by the way, but of course it´s a lot less than the cavalry´s.

[Lusted]

Also with cav charges the mass of the mount also plays into the calculations somehow.

With spearmen receiving charges being stationary and ready when receiving a charge means that their bonus v cav comes into play.

[Monsieur Alphonse]

Lusted does this mean that the extra charge bonus of 8 is checked by the extra anti cav bonus of 8 which most spears have? Does the anti cav bonus also work when the spears are attacked from the rear?

Lusted does this mean that the extra charge bonus of 8 is checked by the extra anti cav bonus of 8 which most spears have? Does the anti cav bonus also work when the spears are attacked from the back?

The anti-cav bonus applies only to attack, not defense.

When spearmen are braced I believe their effective mass increases which means enemy cavalry charges are less devastating.

When pikemen are braced, their mass increases drastically and they are able to keep cavalry at a safe distance (unless the horse leaps over).

Again these are educated guesses so feel free to investigate things yourself.
