Greetings, i am writing this because an issue is not being addressed in the forums and I feel strongly that it should be at least looked at, so i was hoping to take the time to see the issue i am bringing up. You will NOT be able to see what i mean unless you try this experiment which takes 2 mins and will fix the accuracy of this game. The charging mechanism is not as it should be for all primarily archer type units. Please take 2 minuets of your time to try this example to see for yourself. Use the Pahlava faction( i only chose this because of the high charge for their horse archers) Zradha Shivatir armored horse archers. Use any other weak unit against it so you can see the difference, i use Vigiles from rome but theirs probably a weaker one out there. Have the horse archers disable fire at will mode so as not to confuse kills from bow shots. Charge the enemy unit, double left click take off skirmish or just disable it from the start. The horse archers pull out their lances and will charge the enemy but when they connect their charge they really don't kill any "extra" units. thier charge is 38 btw. To emphasize this do this again but chose the parthian noble cataphracts or the parthian cataphracts. i use the azad asavaran because their charge is closer at 41. Both the noble and parthian cataphracts (charge 45) will do about the same charge bonus give or take 1-2 kills, so either is fine. Have either of them charge the vigiles and see the difference on impact? Look at the number of vigiles that die immediately. they are killing at about 15 kills upon impact...This is not correct and when you understand it makes it very inaccurate.
ps. To fix this Find the unit Zradha Shivatir (parthian armored horse archers) in your own text export-descr-units change the 0 charge bonus in the primary charge attack to a 38, like it is in the secondary attack. It will fix everything and you will see the difference. please write back when you get a chance to try it out, thanks for your time.
pps. i also fixed the exp_desc_units file so that the charge works correctly if anyone wants it. Please do not respond to me asking if i double clicked on my charge or disabled skirmish or asking if its only on my cpu, because it is not. Just change the 0 to a 38 like i previously stated and test it out.
